Umno Supreme Council member Lokman Noor Adam will sue the attorney-general (A-G) if no charges are pressed against the two men in a viral sex video that has implicated a sitting minister.
Lokman said he has instructed his lawyer to submit to the A-G the report by a UK-based forensic analysis firm that he engaged to determine the sex video’s authenticity.
“I don’t understand why, two months after the video emerged (in June), and the A-G has not charged anyone yet. If the A-G doesn’t press charges, we will proceed to sue.
“I give the A-G one week to press charges from the date my lawyer hands him this report,” he said.
He was speaking to reporters outside Bukit Aman where he had given his statement to the police on the UK firm’s findings.
Lokman did not say when his lawyer will submit the firm’s report to the A-G.
The report, by Verden Forensics in Birmingham, is already with the police, Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Huzir Mohamed confirmed yesterday.
He said the report had been passed to national cybersecurity agency Cybersecurity Malaysia.
Lokman said he was called in today to give an additional statement.
He said Verden Forensics had analysed one of several clips released in June and found that facial features of the two men matched photos of Economic Affairs Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali and former PKR Santubong Youth chief Haziq Abdullah Abdul Aziz.
“The hairline, sideburns and chin of one of the men in the video matches the photo of Azmin that we gave to Verden Forensics.
“For Haziq, everything matched except one part about the shape of his ear was unclear, and he also had no moustache in the video but he had one in the photo of him we had given. However, this can be explained as he must have shaved it off,” Lokman said.
He also said police have DNA from Azmin and Haziq, which could confirm whether matching DNA was found on the mattress of the hotel room in Sandakan where the sex clips were filmed.
Lokman said he was still unsure if he would be charged with spreading the sex clips but he welcomed it, saying it would prove to Malaysians that the Pakatan Harapan government practised “the law of the jungle”.
“It will show to the people that this country practices the law of the jungle, that those who make police reports will be the ones arrested, instead of those who have committed the actual crime.”
Sodomy is a crime in Malaysia.
Azmin has denied being in the video after he was named by Haziq, who confessed to being the other man in the clip. The minister, who is also PKR deputy president, has called the video an attempt to destroy his political career.
Without elaborating, Huzir said investigation papers for the case were previously referred to the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) and that police have received additional instructions to further their probe.
