GEORGE TOWN: A three-storey bungalow in Tanjung Bungah Park owned by fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho's family has been seized by the police.
It is believed that officers from Bukit Aman's Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Prevention division visited the RM15mil property on Thursday (March 21) to issue a notice of seizure from the Attorney General's Chambers under sub-section 4(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001.
Nobody was believed to be at home during the visit.
Dated Jan 17, 2019, the notice states: "It's hereby ordered that such immovable property be seized by the investigating officer and all dealings in respect of such immovable property are prohibited. Take notice that failure to comply with this notice is an offence under the Act".
The notice was signed by deputy public prosecutor Syafinas Shabudin.
