Rogue Datuk Seri on the run with bags of cash

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Nicky Liow Soon Hee is believed to be on the run with several bags of cash.

Johor police chief Comm Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said investigations revealed that Liow, 33, was last seen at Setiawalk, Puchong on March 20.

“We received information that he packed eight bags with cash and fled.

“Although he is believed to still be in the country, we cannot rule out the possibility that he may try to find a way out illegally.

“We do believe that his movements are now limited due to the fact that his two brothers have been arrested, ” he told reporters at Bukit Aman yesterday.

He said Liow was believed to have a close relationship with his two younger brothers, aged 28 and 30.

“Our checks revealed that Liow has 12 prior cases for criminal intimidation, causing hurt and drug-related offences.

“The two younger brothers also have prior cases for drug-related offences as well.

“Our checks revealed the two were a Datuk and Datuk Seri, ” said Comm Ayob Khan, who added investigations revealed that Liow controlled the CCTV network at Setiawalk, Puchong, where the syndicate rented 48 apartments for their scam activities.

“He may also have had a special escape route there to avoid capture.

“Our checks also revealed that Liow had over RM40mil in his personal accounts, based on information from Bank Negara, ” he said, adding that the syndicate these men were involved in had been active since 2014.

Those with information on Liow should contact Asst Supt Prakash Valiappan at 012-5209 767 or the nearest police station.
