KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has confirmed that it has determined the actual location of controversial businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low who is wanted by the authorities.
However, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim said Jho Low’s location could not be revealed to the public.
“I will not reveal it (Jho Low’s location) as it is still in our investigations.
“This is to facilitate investigations and we do not want it jeopardised,” he said in a press conference held at Bukit Aman here yesterday on the developments of the investigations into the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) case.
Noor Rashid said police will have to discuss with the authorities of the related countries as it involved their sovereignty.
On July 11, PDRM confirmed that Jho Low was believed to have left Macau for an unknown location, and police were informed of this development by an email from the Macau authorities.
Earlier, on July 5, Jho Low was confirmed to have escaped to Macau.
Immigration Director-General Datuk Seri Mustafar Ali had previously said that Jho Low was believed to be using a foreign passport after the Malaysian Immigration Department cancelled his passport on June 15. — Bernama
