Overview

  • Bradley Hope and Tom Wright said in a July livestream that Low is residing in a luxury mansion in Shanghai’s Green Hills neighbourhood under the name Constantinos Achilles Veis.
  • Investigators allege he is using a forged Australian passport to conceal his identity while moving within China.
  • The duo claimed Low works as a behind-the-scenes strategist for the Chinese government, helping sanctioned companies navigate global challenges.
  • Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim told state media he has received no official confirmation of Low’s reported Shanghai residency and will seek verification with his home minister.
  • Low has been sought under an Interpol Red Notice since 2018 for allegedly orchestrating the $4.5 billion misappropriation from Malaysia’s 1MDB fund.
