The Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) has urged Malaysian authorities to arrest and prosecute Penang-born billionaire Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low.

This followed revelations of new facts in relation to Low's role in the movement of 1MDB-linked funds during the prosecution of Falcon Private Bank branch manager Jens Sturzenegger in the Singapore court.

"In light of these facts, C4 urges the attorney-general to arrest and prosecute Jho Low based on the revelation in the Singapore court which revealed that he hid behind the name 'Eric Tan' to mask the fact that he is the beneficiary of this blatant massive theft of public funds," said its executive director Cynthia Gabriel.
