Dato Sri Nicky Liow Finally Arrested; Will Be Charged In Court For Money Laundering Offences

A year ago in March, a manhunt began for 34-year-old businessman Dato Sri Nicky Liow Soon Hee. Liow was wanted for running a syndicate, the Winner Dynasty Group, which he used for fraud and money laundering. A raid on their base in Puchong led to the arrest of most of his men. Unfortunately, Liow himself evaded capture.

Liow has been running from the police for over a year. However, that has all ended. The criminal mastermind finally surrendered to the police yesterday (11th April).

Liow was on the run for a year and 22 days. But he finally ended the chase by voluntarily surrendering to the police yesterday. According to reports, Liow turned himself in to the Commercial Crime Investigation Department in Kuala Lumpur around 11am. However, Liow did not go alone. He was apparently accompanied by a lawyer.

According to Deputy Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain, Liow will be going to the Shah Alam Court today (12th April). He will be facing 26 charges related to money laundering offences which involve roughly RM36 million. Liow previously stayed hidden from the law by bribing members of the law enforcement.

The businessman had been famous for flaunting his wealth previously. During the raids last year, 28 luxury cars were seized, including RM85 million in cash and in bank accounts. Additionally, Liow supposedly has ties to Hong Kong triad leader Wan Kuok Koi (尹國駒) aka Yin Guoju (Broken Tooth/崩牙駒). He also supposedly converted to Islam in 2020.
