1MDB

Jasmine Loo Ai Swan, Jho Low’s ex-associate involved in the 1MDB scandal, has surrendered to Malaysian authorities, mirroring former Goldman Sachs partner Tim Leissner’s move. She is currently under arrest and set to cooperate with ongoing investigations.

Kee Kok Thiam, a suspect in the 1MDB scandal, has passed away due to “sudden illness” after informing authorities about the whereabouts of fugitive financier Jho Low. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission confirmed Kee’s death but provided no further details. Kee had been arrested in May and deported from Macau for overstaying his visa. He had admitted to meeting Jho Low and other 1MDB fugitives in Macau. Jho Low, wanted by Interpol, has been hiding since 2018, charged in Malaysia and the US for his alleged involvement in the 1MDB embezzlement scandal.
