Scivetti & Associates, led by Tania Scivetti represented a prominent Malaysian businessman who was the subject of investigations by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) in connection with matters relating to MBI International Group and its founder, Tedy Teow Wooi Huat.
MBI International Group was widely reported to have operated a large cross-border investment scheme originating from Malaysia but primarily targeting investors from mainland China, attracting participants across several jurisdictions. Public reports described the structure of the scheme as resembling a Ponzi-type or pyramid-style arrangement, prompting investigations and enforcement cooperation between authorities in multiple countries
The investigations in Malaysia attracted significant public and media attention. Public reports referred to allegations that the businessman had received approximately RM600 million linked to transactions associated with MBI.
Following extensive engagement with the relevant authorities, the matter was successfully resolved through a comprehensive global settlement involving MACC, PDRM and LHDN, bringing the investigations to a conclusion.
The resolution reflects a structured and cooperative approach to complex regulatory and financial matters involving multiple enforcement agencies, allowing the authorities to conclude the investigations while enabling the matter to be resolved in a fair and constructive manner, providing clarity and closure for those involved.
