Anwar vows Malaysia to pursue Jho Low over 1MDB despite potential US pardon

Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stated that his country will continue pursuing Jho Low, the alleged orchestrator of the 1MDB corruption scandal, regardless of whether Low receives a potential U.S. presidential pardon. Jho Low was charged in 2018 for conspiracy to launder billions from Malaysia's sovereign wealth fund and violating anti-bribery laws. He is accused of using illicit funds to acquire luxury assets, including a superyacht and high-end art. The 1MDB scandal, initiated by former Prime Minister Najib Razak in 2009, led to widespread public outrage and contributed to his ousting in the 2018 election. Low had requested clemency from then-President Donald Trump, who may consider pardoning him as part of commemorating America's 250th Independence Day. Anwar emphasized that any decision regarding Low's pardon lies solely with the U.S. authorities.

Le gouvernement d'unité de la Malaisie peut-il survivre à une victoire majeure du BN dans les sondages ?
