PETALING JAYA: Indonesian lawyers for the owner of the US$250mil (RM1bil) superyacht Equanimity will challenge the latest detention order to prevent the vessel from being handed over to the US government.

The vessel, which is believed to be owned by fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, is likely to be impounded for a longer period at Bali’s Benoa harbour as the lawyers are challenging the extradition order.
