LOS ANGELES: Malaysian businessman Low Taek Jho’s family is broadening its bid to prevent the US from seizing US$650 million (RM2.9 billion) in real estate and business investments the government claims was acquired with funds stolen.
Four relatives of the businessman better known as Jho Low will seek court orders in the Cayman Islands and New Zealand to replace the trustees who control the assets.
The Swiss trustees have declined to contest the US forfeiture action because they are worried about being prosecuted for money laundering if they do, according to the relatives, who include Low’s father and brother.
The Low family members, who reside in Malaysia, disclosed their intent to try to replace the trustees while seeking to postpone a hearing set for Dec 12 in Los Angeles on whether they have the right to intervene in the US cases.
The family members say they are the beneficiaries of the trusts that hold the assets, and if they or a replacement trustee aren’t allowed to bring a claim, their possessions will go to the US by default.
The US is targeting real estate, investments and art works that were allegedly bought with money
siphoned off from 1MDB.
The US Department of Justice said more than US$3.5 billion of the US$8 billion raised was misappropriated from the fund from 2009 to 2015.
These funds or money is M'sian taxpayers' money or govt. funds which should be returned to the M'sian people. And Jho Low should be brought to JUSTICE for embezzlement, along with all who have conspired with him!!!
