Najib nafi dakwaan Deepak, dakwa towkay karpet tak berkredibiliti...

Datuk Seri Najib Razak hari ini menafikan penglibatannya dalam draft akuan bersumpah kedua P Balasubramaniam mengenai pembunuhan model Mongolia Altantuya Shariibu pada 2006. 

Beliau berkata dakwaan usahawan karpet, Deepak Jaikishan adalah tidak benar, malah menepis dakwaan itu dan menyifatkan ianya tidak berasas.

Perdana menteri itu turut berkata Deepak (gambar) juga bukanlah seorang yang mempunyai kredibiliti.

"Tidak benar. Deepak bukanlah seorang yang 'credible'," katanya kepada pemberita selepas mempengerusikan Mesyuarat Majlis Tertinggi Barisan Nasional (BN) di sini.

Deepak sebelum ini mengakui beliau telah membantu mendapatkan penyiasat persendirian, bagi menukar akuan bersumpah pertama berhubung perkara itu, termasuk mencari dua peguam untuk mendraf akuan baru.

Majlis Peguam juga sedang menjalankan siasatan berkenaan identiti peguam yang terlibat dan kemungkinan berlakunya kesalahan dalam proses mendraf akuan bersumpah Balasubramaniam berkenaan pembunuhan Altantuya.

Misteri mula menyelubungi identiti sebenar peguam yang menyiapkan akuan bersumpah kedua Balasubramaniam, bertarikh sehari selepas akuan pertama pada 3 Julai 2008, berhubung pembunuhan Altantuya, yang menyaksikan dua anggota Unit Tindakan Khas (UTK) dijatuhkan hukuman bunuh kerana didapati bersalah melakukan pembunuhan tersebut.

Peguam Americk Singh Sidhu menjelaskan Deepak sudah membersihkan Arunampalam - dimana penjual karpet itu pernah menggunakan khidmatnya untuk menguruskan urusan hartanahnya - sebagai seorang yang disyaki menulis SD kedua itu.

Beliau juga berkata kesemua klu dikumpul untuk Majlis Peguam bertindak dan menyiasat badan berkenaan bagi menyemak senarai peguam yang sebelum ini bekerja dengan ahli politik yang dinamakan di dalam akuan bersumpah Balasubramaniam untuk menyoal siasat mereka semasa inkuiri.

Beliau menjelaskan hanya peguam yang mahir sahaja mempunyai akses kepada golongan tertentu yang dinamakan dalam akuan bersumpah Balasubramaniam, daripada 14,000 anggota Majlis Peguam.

Peguam terkenal, Tan Sri Cecil Abraham, yang turut dikaitkan dengan perakuan bersumpah kedua itu bagaimanapun enggan memberikan sebarang ulasan berkenaan dakwaan beliau terlibat menyiapkan dokumen tersebut.-malaysian insider

Najib: Deepak not credible, won't hurt BN...

Datuk Seri Najib Razak denied tonight any involvement in the drafting of P. Balasubramaniam’s second sworn statement about the 2006 murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.

He said carpet dealer Deepak Jaikishan’s allegations were not true, dismissing the claim as a non-issue.

The prime minister (picture) also said Deepak was not a credible person.

“Not true. (Deepak is) not a credible person. This is not an issue,” he told reporters tonight after chairing the Barisan Nasional (BN) supreme council meeting.

Deepak had recently admitted that he helped to get Balasubramaniam, a private investigator, to repudiate his earlier statutory declaration on the matter, including finding two lawyers to draft the new statement.

The Bar Council is investigating the identity of lawyers and possible misconduct in the drafting of Balasubramaniam’s second sworn statement about the 2006 murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.

A cloud of mystery has hung over the identity of the lawyer who drew up Balasubramaniam’s second SD, dated a day after his first on July 3, 2008, regarding Altantuya’s 2006 murder, for which two elite police commandos have been convicted and are facing death sentences.

Americk had previously said M. Arunampalam’s role as the lawyer who had drafted Balasubramaniam’s second SD had been dispelled by well-connected businessman Deepak, who is also in the centre of the controversy surrounding Balasubramaniam’s two SDs.

He said Deepak had cleared Arunampalam ― whom the carpet dealer had engaged to handle his property transactions previously ― as a likely candidate for drafting the second SD.

He also said the clues were all assembled for the Bar Council to act upon and advised the body to check out lawyers who had previously worked for the politicians named in Balasubramaniam’s SD, to question them in an inquiry.

He pointed that only a handful of lawyers would have access to a prominent personality that had been named in Balasubramaniam’s SDs, out of the 14,000 members of the Malaysian Bar.

Senior lawyer Tan Sri Cecil Abraham, who has been linked to the second statutory declaration has refused to comment on his alleged role in preparing the document.-malaysian insider
