PUTRAJAYA: Police have confirmed that businessman Low Taek Jhow (or Jho Low), who is wanted in connection with the 1MDB probe, has escaped to Macau.
Inspector-General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun said this was based on the information that the police had obtained while tracking down Jho Low in Hong Kong recently.
“This latest information was obtained after a team from Bukit Aman (federal police) was deployed to Hong Kong to track down the fugitive.
“We were informed that Jho Low had fled to Macau when the team arrived there (Hong Kong),” he said after attending the “Instilling Good Virtues” programme at the home ministry here today.
However, asked whether the team had visited Jho Low’s residence or his office while in Hong Kong, Fuzi declined to comment.
