Facts on Altantuya’s murder case speak for themselves
Salleh Said Keruak lays out the facts in the Mongolian’s murder case in light of mounting pressure on the PM to clear his name.
(Free Malaysia Today) – In the face of mounting pressure on the prime minister to clear his name from any association with the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu, Sabah Speaker Salleh Said Keruak laid bare some key facts pertaining to the case to show critics that Najib Razak was not involved in it.
He recounted how the PM in his interview with TV3 last night reiterated that he had never met or knew Altantuya, and that former prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had also stepped forward today to add that a police probe conducted at the time revealed Najib was not involved in her murder.
Salleh said the French police also mounted their own court-ordered investigation on Altantuya and the submarine contract years ago, resulting in a compilation of a total of 153 documents pertaining to the case, among them Document D54.
He writes, “Document D54 is a statement by the police to the court that there are no records of Altantuya Shaariibuu, Abdul Razak Baginda and/or Najib Tun Razak ever having entered France from 1999, the date the Scorpene submarines were first negotiated, until the day Altantuya was reported murdered.”
He said the immigration authorities and French intelligence also confirmed the same and added, “Hence the Opposition story that Altantuya, Razak and Najib had dinner in Paris where their photograph was taken is not true.”
