Prosecution failed to prove Peter Anthony committed forgery, says lawyer

Peter’s lawyer, S Devanathan, said the prosecution had failed to prove that the Melalap assemblyman had falsified a letter of support from the office of the deputy vice-chancellor of Universiti Malaysia Sabah . “There are material gaps in the prosecution’s case,” the lawyer contended.

Peter is alleged to have added a title to the letter before it was handed over on June 13, 2014, to Azlin Alias, Najib’s principal private secretary at the time. Deputy public prosecutor Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin submitted that the prosecution had sufficiently proved its case by presenting strong circumstantial evidence based on Peter’s conduct. “He went all out to get the project through deception although he knew another company had won it,” he added.
