PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has fixed Feb 23 next year to deliver its decision in a civil suit brought by Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is seeking to reinstate his lawsuit against the government relating to his Sodomy 2 conviction.
The date was set after a three-man panel chaired by Justice Lee Swee Seng heard submissions from Anwar's lawyer Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram, and Senior Federal Counsel Suzana Atan who represented the government.
Anwar alleged in his lawsuit that Shafee, who was an ad-hoc prosecutor in the sodomy case, received RM9.5mil from former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to lead the prosecution against him at the Court of Appeal and the Federal Court from 2013.In September 2018, a special officer to the former attorney general Tommy Thomas, Siti Rahayu Mohd Mumazaini, filed an affidavit in support of Anwar's application to reinstate the suit.
Shafee is currently on trial for four counts of money laundering charges over the millions he received. On June 9, 2017, Anwar filed his originating summons and named the government as the defendant, claiming that he did not get a fair trial in the appeal relating to his sodomy conviction.
