KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 (Bernama) -- The issue on the amount of money spent and who was paying for the lawyer to accompany former private investigator P.Balasubramaniam while in London and Paris was raised Thursday.
Anuar Shaari, a former private secretary to Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, said the question now was how much money was paid to the lawyers who not only accompanied Balasubramaniam to London but also to Paris.
Balasubramaniam, who is now in India, had made a statutory declaration on the murder of Mongolian woman Altantuya Shaariibuu on July 3, 2008, but on the following day retracted the sworn statement and replaced it with a second sworn statement before disappearing abroad.
Earlier this month, Balasubramaniam appeared in London to give a press statement besides facing the French authorities in Paris later on the contract for the sale of the submarine built by French company DCNS to Malaysia.
Anuar, in his press conference, also repeated the proposal by Umno Supreme Council member, Dr Mohd Puad Zarkhasi, who is also a Deputy Education Minister, on July 8 that the Inland Revenue Board and the Royal Malaysian Customs investigated the source of funds received by the lawyer.
