Fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho is the CEO of Hong Kong-based private equity investment and advisory firm Jynwel Capital.

PETALING JAYA: The absence of an extradition treaty between Malaysia and China means that any legal process to bring fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low, back to the country will be a long, drawn-out process.

Constitutional lawyer Surendra Ananth noted that although there was no existing extradition treaty between the two countries, Malaysia could still put in such a request for Jho Low.
