JOHOR BARU – Police are tracking down a former deputy public prosecutor (DPP) to assist in the investigation into several commercial crimes and money laundering cases in the state.

The DPP has been identified as Md Azar Izwan Mohd Arifin@Datuk A. Janus, 42, whose last known address is in Puchong, Selangor.

Johor police chief Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said the man is also wanted for his alleged involvement in a fraud syndicate and case involving Datuk Seri Nicky Liow, 33.
