1MDB: Investigation on Jho Low goes on - IGP

The investigation into fugitive businessperson Low Taek Jho or Jho Low in the case related to 1MDB continues and will not stop until the man is successfully brought back to the country, said Inspector-General of Police Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.

He said the Royal Malaysia Police and the MACC will work together and discuss further efforts to bring Jho Low back to the country.

"Low was charged under Section 4(1)(a) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001 (AMLA) in 2018 although he did not appear (in court).

"The police have indeed opened an investigation paper and if the subject (Low) can be returned to Malaysia, of course, we will pursue the charges," he told reporters after attending the Op Selamat Best Contingent and District Award in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri in Bukit Aman today.

On May 5, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the government is currently negotiating with the country concerned to speed up the process but refused to confirm the whereabouts of the fugitive businessperson.

According to Anwar, the process is also very complicated because it involves another country, intelligence services and Interpol.
