‘Jho Low believed to be using passport from another country’

PUTRAJAYA: Businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low is believed to be using a passport from another country to travel after the Malaysian Immigration Department cancelled his passport last month, said Immigration Director- General Datuk Seri Mustafar Ali.

“Right now, he is probably using other passports he might have,” Mustafar told reporters at his office here yesterday.

Jho Low’s passport was cancelled by the Immigration Department on June 15 following a request from the Malaysian AntiCorruption Commission ( MACC) in relation to their investigations into the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) case.

When asked which country’s passport is used by Jho Low now, Mustafar said: “I don’t know.”

According to media reports, the Royal Malaysia Police sent a team to take Jho Low back from Hong Kong, but found upon arrival that he had fled to Macau. — Bernama
