JOHOR BAHRU:
Johor police are tracking down a former deputy public prosecutor (DPP) in the investigation into several money laundering cases and commercial crimes in the state.

The man has been identified as Md Azar Izwan Mohd Arifin @ Datuk A Janus, 42, whose last known address was in Puchong, Selangor.

Johor police chief Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said the man was also wanted for questioning regarding his alleged involvement in a fraud syndicate and a case involving “Datuk Seri” Nicky Liow Soon Hee, 33.

“Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the man can contact assistant superintendent V Prakash at 012-5209767,” he told a press conference after a parade in conjunction with the 214th Police Day celebration here today.

Ayob Khan said to date, police had arrested 92 individuals in Puchong over their suspected links to the fraud syndicate, said to involve Liow.

“Of the total arrested, 40 are still being detained under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012,” he said.

Last Sunday, Johor police said they were looking for “Datuk Seri Nicky”, who is the founder of Winner Dynasty Group, for investigations under Sections 130 V to 130 ZB of the Penal Code for organised crimes.
