Sex video: Statements recorded from Anwar, 34 others

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have recorded statements from Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and 34 others to facilitate the probe into the sex video featuring a man purportedly resembling the opposition leader.

Besides Anwar, others who have been questioned include former Malacca chief minister Tan Sri Rahim Tamby Chik, businessman Datuk Shazryl Eskay Abdullah and Perkasa treasurer Datuk Shuaib Lazim, or collectively known as 'Datuk T', who have admitted that they were behind the screening of the video to the media on March 21.

Deputy CID chief Datuk Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said several staff of Carcosa Seri Negara, where the video was shown, have also been questioned.

He added that the statement taken from Anwar was sufficient.

"If there are parts of his statement which are incomplete, we will recall him," he told reporters here Wednesday.

He said police would record the statements of two or three more individuals.

The investigation, he added, was now about 95% complete and a report would be handed over to the Attorney-General's Chambers soon.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar confirmed recently that the video was not doctored.

The investigation was launched following a report lodged by Anwar on March 22 denying that he was the man in the video. - Bernama
