Tan is a known associate of Low and is also implicated in Malaysia’s multibillion-dollar 1MDB scandal.Low is accused by US and Malaysian authorities of masterminding the 1MDB scandal, in which billions were allegedly siphoned from state investment fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad. The money was allegedly diverted through a web of shell companies, and Low – who has been on the run since 2015 – has denied any wrongdoing.
