Anuar claimed that the share transaction made by Azmin, his wife and several relatives would be worth about RM10mil inclusive of its processing.
“I have given my full cooperation to the MACC. I informed the MACC that I have no intention of judging anyone but would leave to the authorities to carry out a fair and transparent investigation,” he told reporters after giving his statements to the MACC.
He called on the MACC to investigate the validity and authenticity of the documents to determine the direction of further investigations.
When pressed further about the questions, Anuar said most of them concerned how he had obtained the documents and whether he was sure that it was relating to share transactions.
He declined to disclose further details.
On Azmin threatening to sue him over the allegations, Anuar said it was up to the PKR vice-president to do so as Malaysia was a democratic country.
He added that he only wished to remind Azmin to give his full cooperation to the relevant authorities if he wished to uphold justice.
“If he is called up by any relevant authorities and if there are court proceedings, he should turn up and not take every opportunity to postpone the case,” said Anuar, who was Anwar’s political secretary between 1996 and 1998.
Anuar, who joined PKR in 1999 after Anwar was sacked from the Government, left the opposition party on March 27,2007.
