KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 27): The government has been urged to fast-track prosecutions against all operators of the MBI Ponzi scheme, including proxies and uplines, and to maximise asset forfeiture to ensure compensation for both domestic and international victims. He also asked why the identities of key individuals, proxies, and upline operators of MBI in Malaysia have not been publicly disclosed. Malaysian police have so far arrested 23 people and offered compounds totalling RM339.5 million, of which RM131.5 million has been collected. On Tuesday, Ganabatirau questioned whether the Attorney General’s Chambers would pursue criminal charges against Teow’s children in addition to the forfeiture of their assets. He described the MBI Ponzi scheme as a test of the integrity of Malaysia’s justice system, noting that “delayed justice is denied justice”.
