In October 2016, Interpol issued a red notice at Singapore's request to locate and arrest Low in an investigation related to 1MDB fund flows within its jurisdiction.
After the Malaysian general election in 2018, new Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad re-opened the extensive investigations into the 1MDB matter.
Despite prior findings by former Malaysian Attorney General Mohamed Apandi Ali and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission that no crime had been committed, issued charges of criminal breach of trust, money laundering and abuse of power in the arrest warrants against Low.
The Malaysian Immigration Department barred Najib and 11 others from leaving the country, while the police seized more than 500 handbags and 12,000 pieces of jewelry estimated to be worth US$270 million from property linked to Najib, the largest seizure of goods in Malaysian history.
As of 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice found that Low and other conspirators including officials from Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates diverted more than US$4.5 billion from 1MDB.
Najib was subsequently found guilty of seven charges connected to SRC International, a 1MDB subsidiary, and was sentenced to a fine of RM 210 million ($49.5 million) and twelve years' imprisonment.
On 1 September 2022, Najib's wife Rosmah Mansor was also found guilty of three counts of corruption by the Malaysian High Court and sentenced to both a ten-year term of imprisonment and a RM970 million fine.
On 1 November 2018, Low and two ex-Goldman Sachs bankers, Tim Leissner and Roger Ng Chong Hwa, were indicted by the United States Department of Justice in connection with the 1MDB allegations.
Leissner, the estranged husband of fashion model Kimora Lee Simmons, has pleaded guilty and is cooperating with federal prosecutors. He is expected to take the witness stand this week and testify against Ng.
