The investigating officer in the Sodomy II case,
Jude Pereira, has refused to make any further comments apart from a
handwritten account published in the Malaysia Today blog, alleging an attempt to subvert the case's trial by My Watch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan.
Jude told Malaysiakini that he would not becommenting on the matter, and refused to answer queries on whether he had lodged a police report regarding the attempt to subvert the trial.
He also refused to respond to Sanjeevan's claims that the whole allegation was a "complete lie".
"Sorry, I am not making any more comments. Let the people judge," Jude said when posed with the queries today.
In his handwritten note, Jude claimed that Sanjeevan - who is also a PKR member - had requested him to release a press statement alleging a conspiracy in the Sodomy II investigations, which would subvert the trial.
This supposedly happened before GE13, when the case was still pending in the Court of Appeal.
Meanwhile, Sanjeevan - when contacted - emphasised that he would only be lodging a police report if Jude is confirmed as the man who made the allegations.
Jude's handling of the evidence from the scene where the sodomy tryst allegedly took place in 2008 was extensively questioned by Anwar's lawyers throughout the seven-year legal process - which ended with Anwar being sentenced to five years in prison earlier this month.
In his account published in Malaysia Today, Jude wrote that he had met both Sanjeevan and former inspector-general of police Musa Hassan over the attempt to subvert the trial.
Jude did not sign the press statement alleging the sodomy charge to be a conspiracy, as reportedly requested by Sanjeevan.
Musa had previously confirmed the incident to Malaysiakini, claiming that Sanjeevan had made the offer to Jude, but that Jude was advised against it by Musa when the two met later.
