In February 2018, the National Police, with the help of Bali Regional Police, seized “The Equanimity”, a luxury yacht reportedly owned by Jho Low, a Malaysian businessman implicated in the 1MDB scandal. Several weeks after the seizure, Equanimity (Cayman) Limited, the owner of the vessel, filed a pre-trial petition at the South Jakarta District Court, questioning the legality of the forfeiture.

The sole presiding judge of the pre-trial agreed, and ruled in favor of Equanimity (Cayman) Limited.To subscribe please click here
