MACC has described locating Adlan Berhan, the fugitive son-in-law of former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin, and his lawyer Mansoor Saat, as a complicated affair since it depended on the laws of each country.

Its chief commissioner, Azam Baki, revealed that due to Malaysia’s laws, which include caning, some countries were reluctant to cooperate.

Their laws may not recognise the offences as extraditable crimes either, MACC chief adds.
