Singapore says arrest warrants for 1MDB’s Jho Low still in force despite US clemency bid

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.
