KUALA LUMPUR -- The application to obtain a red notice against the son-in-law of former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and his lawyer has not been completed due to technical problems.

It is understood that the problem involves the complete personal information of the individual concerned and the offence committed, Berita Harian reported today. 

Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said Bukit Aman has been asked to complete the information required by Interpol before a red notice can be issued.

"There are still some technical matters that we are waiting for from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to complete the red notice application," he said. 

"When it is complete, it will be handed over to Interpol for the official announcement of the red notice," he told reporters at the Kuala Lumpur Police Training Centre (Pulapol) here today.

It was previously reported that Muhammad Adlan Berhan, who is married to Muhyiddin’s daughter Nabilah, had left the country amidst an ongoing investigation on the registration, recruitment and storage of foreign worker biometric data at a ministry. 

They were sought to assist the MACC in its investigation had left the country in May. 

Subsequently, through his lawyer Mansoor Saat, Adlan denied that he was running from the law.

Mansoor meanwhile claimed that he was a victim of political persecution. 

Mansoor is a key figure in NERS Sdn Bhd, a company that was awarded a 12-year contract back in 2011 to record and monitor the entry of foreign workers and to issue temporary employment visit passes.

Meanwhile, Ayob also said that the investigation into the case related to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) general counsel Jasmine Loo Ai Swan, who was arrested and whose assets worth RM93.2 million were seized by the Malaysian police, has been completed.on the case.  

He said that the investigation papers had been handed over to the Attorney-General's Chambers for prosecution under Section 409 of the Penal Code for criminal breach of trust.

"Regarding some property abroad that will be confiscated, we are in the process of getting the property back," he said. 

Earlier this month, Ayob had said that a total of RM93.2 million worth of assets were seized and surrendered in the investigation on Loo.

The assets included two Pablo Picasso artworks, watches, jewellery and luxury handbags. The items were seized in Singapore, Switzerland, New York, London and Malaysia, he had said. 

Loo was detained in July. She also admitted to having owned several assets in the United States, Switzerland and Singapore, which she had purchased using funds from 1MDB.

She was also the founder of River Dee International SA in Falcon Private Bank AG in Zurich. -- The Vibes, September 29, 2023
