SUARAM will be holding a press conference to launch our fundraiser campaign, “Ops Scorpene”. The campaign is aimed to raise funds in order to pursue the ongoing litigation stages in the French Courts with regards to the judicial investigation into the French company DCNS whom allegedly paid an amount in commissions to Perimekar, for the purchase of the Scorpene submarines.
In December 2009, SUARAM linked up with leading human rights lawyers in France, to file a complaint with the French judicial system, hoping that preliminary investigation would be initiated. SUARAM has been monitoring the scandal building not just surrounding the mysterious and horrendous death of Altantuya Shariibu, but her role and involvement in the procurement of arms for the Malaysian government, leading to her gruesome murder.
In April 2010, the lawyers representing SUARAM, informed us that the courts had accepted the request to investigate the claim of corruption for a payment amounting to Euro 114 million made as commissions from DCNS to Perimekar, a company formed solely for the purpose of receiving said commissions.
Date : 30th May 2011
Time : 11.00 a.m.
Venue : Auditorium, KL & Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall, Jalan Maharajalela, KL.
