Cyprus has came under global attention after it was alleged that Jho Low used its so-called “golden passport” scheme to effectively purchase his citizenship there.

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 — Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades said his country should terminate the passport of fugitive financier Low Taek Jho if reports of its existence are verified.

However, he said this would only be after a full investigation is carried out with respect to due process. Cyprus previously launched an investigation into those cases specifically as part of a system-wide audit announced following the revelations. “If, for example, among the some 4,000 citizenships granted, it is found that 10 or 15 may not be up to par, I don’t think that it justifies all this uproar so that — and it might be down to honest mistakes — we drag our country’s name through the mud.”
