The case remains under police investigation and is currently under consideration by China - AI-GENERATED IMAGEKUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has requested several key documents from China, including a 'Serious Offence Certificate', as part of efforts to investigate fugitive businessman Tedy Teow and the MBI ponzi scheme network. Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said this is part of Putrajaya's broader strategy to trace assets, extradite suspects, forfeit assets, and monitor cross-border transactions. "The police's Anti-Money Laundering (AMLA) unit has sought Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) from China through the Attorney-General's Chambers to obtain criminal offence documents such as a 'Serious Offence Certificate'. "The case remains under police investigation and is currently under consideration by China," he said in a written parliamentary reply. On extradition, the ministry noted that while Malaysia does not have a formal treaty with China, it can pursue the process under the Extradition Act 1992.
