Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali has demanded the police to pursue and extradite controversial businessperson Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low as he is widely known, over alleged involvement in offences under the Penal Code linked to the 1MDB financial scandal.
Lawyer Latheefa Koya said an official letter of demand was sent to inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar yesterday with a 14-day notice to respond.
"We have been instructed by the MB (Azmin) to issue a notice with regard to taking steps to secure the arrest and extradition of Jho Low to Malaysia with the help of the Interpol," she told reporters at the Kuala Lumpur court complex in Jalan Duta this morning.
Latheefa, who was accompanied by lawyer N Surendran, said the demand was made as it is believed that no steps have so far been taken to secure Low's presence in Malaysia.
"If the IGP fails to comply, then Azmin will file the necessary action in court," said Surendran.
