JHO LOW ACCUSES MAHATHIR OF ‘FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY’: YOUR REGIME HAS NO INTEREST IN RULE OF LAW, WHY SHOULD I COME BACK WHEN I CANNOT GET A FAIR TRIAL – CHARGED IN KL, CHARGED IN THE U.S., YET 1MDB ‘ARCHITECT’ STILL INSISTS HE’S INNOCENT

A spokesman for Mr. Low, through his attorneys, issued the following statement on the filing of charges against Mr. Low in Malaysia:

These charges are intended to create another false sense of security for the political loss that the Mahathir regime has brought upon itself due to its failures on current issues; disregard for the rule of law; and intentional misinterpretation of the Constitution.

They are no more than a continuation of the trial by media and political reprisals by the Mahathir regime.

Mr. Low maintains his innocence. As has been previously stated, Mr. Low will not submit to any jurisdiction where guilt has been predetermined by politics and there is no independent legal process.

It is clear that Mr. Low cannot get a fair trial in Malaysia, where the regime has proven numerous times that they have no interest in the rule of law.
