Malaysian authorities have been working to repatriate Jho Low for years. He was first charged in absentia in 2018 by a Malaysian court with eight counts of money laundering and issued a warrant of arrest for his role in 1Malaysia Development Bhd. Low publicly declared his innocence that same year.
Malaysia believes financier Low Taek Jho is hiding in Macau, along with others wanted in the multibillion ringgit 1MDB scandal, Al Jazeera reported, citing the national anti-graft body.
The information was confirmed by several individuals who had spotted the fugitive, better known as Jho Low, in Macau, the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission told Al Jazeera in a written response. This included 1MDB suspect, Kee Kok Thiam, who was arrested and released by the MACC earlier this month.
