‘WILD DOG BARKING’ OR NOT, JHO LOW CHEERS AS U.S. DOJ SELLS MORE OF HIS CONFISCATED PROPERTIES ON ‘FAVORABLE’ TERMS – BUT TAKES A SWIPE AT DR MAHATHIR’S GOVT FOR ‘ILLEGALLY SEIZING ASSETS UNDER THE PRETENSE OF SERVING JUSTICE’

A spokesperson for Mr. Low, through his US lead attorneys, issued the following statement:

“Mr. Low is aware of two further successfully negotiated agreements with the U.S. government.

“The owners of both the Greene Street property and the 80 Columbus Circle property have reached favourable agreements with the DOJ to initiate a sale of the properties.

“This continued ongoing collaboration is crucial in order to protect both the value of the assets and the parties’ legal rights.

“These positive developments provide a refreshing contrast to the autocratic actions of the Malaysian government, which has consistently disregarded the rule of law by illegally seizing assets and denying basic rights, all under the pretense of serving justice.”
