PM: Govt working on extraditing Jho Low, although process is tough

The government is working on bringing fugitive businessperson Low Taek Jho (Jho Low) back to the country as soon as possible, although faced with an arduous process in doing so, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has said.

According to Anwar, negotiations have been carried out with several countries to extradite Low to face the music in connection with the 1MDB scandal.

"Of course. yes. That has been the position and we have been very tough from day one," he told reporters when asked about the government's stance on Low's extradition back to Malaysia.

Anwar, however, did not name the countries Putrajaya has engaged with on the matter.
