The Singapore Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) said Penang-born billionaire Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low, was amongst the persons of interest in its investigation into money-laundering linked to 1MDB, according to Singapore's Straits Times.

CAD investigation officer Oh Yong Yang said this during the trial of former BSI banker Yeo Jiawei who is facing charges for facilitating money-laundering linked to 1MDB and attempting to cover up.

Oh was quoted as saying during the trial in Singapore that the other "persons of interest" included Jho Low's associates Eric Tan Kim Loong and Mohamed Badawy Al Husseiny.
