FINDING wanted businessman Low Taek Jho might be like looking for a “needle in a haystack” but the government is confident of finding and bringing him to justice, said Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

“We can’t locate him (or now), but we will find him. There are only seven billion people in the world, so it’s not very difficult.

“He (Low) will be the needle and we will look in the haystack,” he said today.

The Kuala Lumpur magistrates’ court issued arrest warrants last month for the businessman and four others for criminal charges in relation to the 1Malaysia Development Bhd scandal.

Low, better known as Jho Low, is wanted for various other offences linked to 1MDB.

Low has maintained his innocence through statements issued by his lawyers, or public relations firm.

Dr Mahathir also dismissed Low’s claims that bringing him back to face charges is politically motivated. 

“He’s said that many times. He’s also politically motivated to steal money,” said Dr Mahathir.

Low had criticised the Wall Street Journal report alleging China offered to bail out 1MDB as being part of a “politically motivated” campaign to smear his name. 

“The Wall Street Journal’s latest story is simply a continuation of the Mahathir regime’s trial by media,” Low said in a statement issued by his legal advisers. – January 10, 2019.
