The special team investigating the case was in the closing stages of the probe.
KUALA LUMPUR: Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Ismail Omar said today the sex video clip allegedly involving an opposition politician is genuine.
This is based on the report of experts who had used the clip to investigate the case, he told reporters.
Ismail said the special team investigating the case was in the closing stages of the probe and that the investigation papers would be handed over to the attorney-general soon.
The sex video clip, said to be of an opposition politician and a woman suspected to be a prostitute, was shown privately to selected journalists recently.
Police set up a team to investigate the case after Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, who denied that he was the man in the video clip, had lodged a police report.
PKR veep: IGP is confusing the issue
In an immediate reaction , PKR vice president N Surendran said the IGP’s statement that the sex video is authentic is a politically motivated attempt at confusing the issue to tarnish Anwar’s reputation.
“This announcement in no way proves that Anwar is the person appearing in the sex video. From the very first instance, Anwar has stated that he is not the person in the sex video,” he said in a statement.
Surendran added that the failure of the police and the AG Chamber to initiate criminal proceedings against the Datuk T trio was a major concern.
“Why the special treatment meted out to these particular offenders? Unusually, the IGP made his
announcement on the aspect of the authenticity of the video despite admitting also that the probe on the sex video is not yet complete.
“We call upon the IGP not to dance to the tune of the BN and to carry out police investigations fairly, impartially and professionally and take action against the real criminals in the sex video fiasco immediately,” he said.
