A spokesman for Low, in a statement issued by his attorney, said the property was built and completed about 20 years ago, and had never previously been of interest to the Malaysian government. The incident, and the way in which the notice was posted publicly, shows that Low cannot get a fair trial, according to the statement.
(Mar 24): Malaysian authorities have seized a mansion believed to belong to the family of Low Taek Jho in connection to investigations into 1Malaysia Development Berhad, the New Straits Times reported.
A notice of seizure dated Jan 17 was posted on the front wall of the house in Penang state, and addressed to a person who bears the same name as Low’s mother Goh Gaik Ewe, the paper reported. The notice was issued under Malaysia’s anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing law, the report said.
