Singapore police said arrest warrants for fugitive financier Jho Low remain active, even as the Malaysian continues efforts to seek clemency from US President Donald Trump.
“Warrants of arrest and Interpol red notices for both Tan Kim Loong and Low Taek Jho are still in effect,” the police said in a statement on Wednesday. Tan is a known associate of Low and is also implicated in Malaysia’s multibillion-dollar 1MDB scandal.
Low is accused by US and Malaysian authorities of masterminding the 1MDB scandal, in which billions were allegedly siphoned from state investment fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad. The money was allegedly diverted through a web of shell companies, and Low – who has been on the run since 2015 – has denied any wrongdoing.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said his government would not consider any pardon request for Low, according to state news agency Bernama. Court proceedings involving Low – who was charged in absentia in 2018 – remain ongoing.
