Police seek Macau’s help to detain Jho Low

Malaysian police have informed their counterparts in Macau to detain billionaire financier Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low.

(The Sun Daily) – Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun (pix) said police have made a written request to Macau to inform them that Low is wanted by the authorities here to assist in investigations into the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal

“We have not sent our team yet to trace him. We are still waiting for Macau’s authorities to respond to us,” he told reporters after attending Police Corporation Annual Meeting here today.

Mohamad Fuzi also said police have so far informed seven countries through the Interpol red notice about Low being sought over the 1MDB scandal. The seven countries are UAE, Hong Kong, Macau, India, Myanmar, China and Indonesia.

Meanwhile, police have have also requested Taiwan for further assistance.

Interpol is the world’s largest international police organisation, with the role to enable police around the world to work together to make the world a safer place.

Taiwan is not with Interpol despite the fact that the island is a net contributor to international law enforcement.

Police last week sent a team to Hong Kong recently, but unfortunately Jho Low had left for Macau.
