Malaysian government file formal request for Macau police to arrest fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho


The net appears to be tightening around fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho after police in Macau confirmed they had received a “request” for his arrest from the Malaysian government.

Judiciary Police in the world’s richest casino hub confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that Interpol Macau, a subdivision of Interpol Beijing, received “the request of the relevant country (Malaysia)” regarding Low, 37, a key figure in the 1 Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) financial scandal who the South China Morning Post revealed three days ago had slipped out of Hong Kong with his family and was hiding out in Macau.
