Cops to probe Zul’s explosive claim
(Free Malaysia Today) – The police will investigate sacked PKR MP Zulkifli Noordin’s claim that he was asked to link the prime minister and his wife to the murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shariibuu.
“If anything comes out (based on the investigations)… we will pursue additional investigations,” Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan told reporters in Kuala Lumpur.
Yesterday, Zulkifli ressurected the Altantuya saga in Parliament when he claimed that a ‘third party’ had offered him a large sum of money to implicate Najib Tun Razak and Rosmah Mansor in the case.
According to the Kulim-Bandar Baru MP, the offer was made when he was the defence counsel for one of the the accused, police officer Azilah Hadri.
The spotlight fell on Najib, when a close friend of the premier’s Abdul Razak Baginda was charged with abetting Azilah, and another special operations officer Sirul Azhar.
Abdul Razak was later acquitted, but the two policemen were handed the death sentence.
