Fugitive Nicky Liow surrenders after being on the run for over a year

KUALA LUMPUR: Fugitive businessman Nicky Liow Soon Hee (pic) surrendered to police after being on the run since last year.

The 34-year-old businessman, who is the founder of the Winner Dynasty Group surrendered at Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) headquarters at Menara KPJ, Jalan Tun Razak at about 11am on Monday (April 11).

Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Razarudin Husain said Liow was being investigated for over 20 Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act (AMLATFA) cases.

"He will be brought to Shah Alam Court tomorrow where he will face 26 charges," he said when contacted on Monday.

It is believed that the 26 charges involve around RM36mil of money laundering related offences.

"On March 23, Shah Alam Court issued an arrest warrant on Liow to face prosecution under Section 4(1)(a) of AMLATFA," he said when contacted on Monday.

Liow has been on the run since March last year when Johor police conducted a large scale operation and raids in Puchong, Selangor before arresting 12 individuals including a Datuk Seri.

The syndicate is suspected of being involved in various cheating and online scams.
