Fugitive businessmen Low Taek Jho or better known as Jho Low and Nicky Liow Soon Hee are still not on Interpol's Red Notice list, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.

He said the Royal Malaysia Police had applied for the Red Notice on them but the names of Jho Low and Nicky Liow were still not included in the list of wanted individuals.

"I will get confirmation from PJSJ (Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Abd Jalil Hassan) because the Red Notice application to Interpol needs to meet several protocols," he said.

Acryl Sani said this when asked to comment on developments regarding Jho Low and Nicky Liow during in a press conference after visiting the 100-day Malaysian Family Aspirations exhibition at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), here, today.

Last November, it was reported that the Home Ministry admitted that it had no information on Jho Low's whereabouts.

Jho Low is on the run following the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal while Winner Dynasty Group founder Nicky Liow is wanted in connection with a Macau Scam syndicate.

Meanwhile, Acryl Sani said in a statement tonight that Interpol had issued Red Notices on Jho Low and Nicky Liow but the notices were for the attention of enforcement agencies only.

He said the Red Notice by Interpol on Jho Low was issued on June 11, 2018 while Nicky Liow's Red Notice was issued on April 20.

"The police remain committed in our efforts of ensuring both fugitives listed are arrested and brought to justice," he added.
