The police have sent the luxury watch's registration card to the distributor to ascertain its ownership.
KUALA LUMPUR: Police are ascertaining the ownership of an Omega wristwatch which was handed over to the police in connection with the investigation into a sex video featuring a man resembling Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.
CID deputy director Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said police had sent the luxury watch’s registration card to the distributor to ascertain its ownership.
“We have given the company two weeks to reply but have not received any yet,” he told reporters here.
Businessman Shazryl Eskay Abdullah, former Malacca chief minister Rahim Thamby Chik and ex-Perkasa treasurer Shuib Lazim, collectively known as the Datuk T trio, said they had handed over the watch, allegedly taken from the room where the sex act was recorded, to the police along with the sex video.
At a news conference previously, Anwar, who was asked about his watch, said it was being kept by his wife Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
Yesterday at a news conference in Kuching, Anwar, who was asked why the watch was not handed over to the police, said the police had never asked for it.
Acryl Sani, when asked whether the police would ask the opposition leader to produce his watch, said the police would have to establish the ownership of the watch that was handed over to them before making any further move.
“Our priority is on the probe into the video, and then the watch and other matters,” he said.
He indicated that they might be able to establish the watch’s ownership soon.
AG has re-sent file to the police
On the progress of their investigation into the case, he said, the police handed over the investigation papers to the Attorney-General’s Chambers last week.
The papers, however, were sent back to the police, he added.
Acryl Sani said police needed to tightened up several issues. When asked what were the issues, he said: “There are things which we need to clarify; small matters but important to the investigation.”
He hoped that the investigation could be completed this week.
Police have launched the investigation into the case following a report lodged by Anwar on March 22 denying that he was the man in the video.
On how excerpts of the sex video made its way into the online video sharing website YouTube, Acryl Sani said, police had the original copy of the video and that he had no idea how the footage found its way online.
“We have the original copy. I don’t know who distributed it (online),” he said, adding that police was also identifying the woman in the video and tracing her whereabouts.
