Investigating officer Sabri Latif says whether lawyer Chetan Jethwani is a suspect or witness can only be determined at the end of investigations.
The MACC has applied for a court order compelling two law firms to provide documents in connection with an investigation into a controversial US$6.5 billion bond issue.
In an affidavit in reply filed in response to Chetan’s claim, Sabri denied that the investigation was aimed at damaging the lawyer’s reputation.Sabri also dismissed Chetan’s claim that a notice of motion filed against the lawyer and his legal firm, Chetan & Co, in the High Court last month was procedurally defective.
He also said whether Chetan is a suspect or a witness could only be determined after the ongoing investigation is completed. On Oct 11, the MACC filed two motions, one against Chetan and his legal firm, and another against lawyer Rosli Dahlan and his law firm, Rosli Dahlan Saravana Partnership . It said the lawyers had taken the stand that the documents were privileged communication between client and solicitor.
