Malaysia said there is no current request for Interpol’s assistance in locating financier Low Taek Jho, a central figure in global investigations linked to a troubled state investment fund.

Police have closed a case related to Low and there hasn’t been any follow-up from Interpol, according to a statement from the office of Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. It refuted media reports of a renewed search for Low, saying comments by Zahid in parliament on Monday had been manipulated. The statement didn’t elaborate on the case.
