Tight security at Malaysian National Art Gallery ahead of’ arrival of art works linked to 1MDB scandal
The National Art Gallery of Malaysia has implemented high-level security measures, including enhanced alarms and restricted access zones, to receive four artworks recovered from the 1MDB financial scandal. The collection includes pieces by Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Maurice Utrillo, and Balthus, which were previously owned by former 1MDB lawyer Jasmine Loo. The repatriation was a coordinated effort between the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), the FBI, and the U.S. Department of Justice.
