: The Malaysian government has denied in full and without limitation the allegations and insinuations in a letter sent by Paul H. Cohen, the lawyer to the party claiming to be the heir of Sultan Jamalul Kiram II , to the Attorney-General Chambers .According to the AGC, the letter demanded the government to make immediate payment, before June 2, 2023, of the purported Final Award which amounts to USD16.412 billion together with USD3,502,394.24 in counsel and expert fees and USD4,026,592.
In the letter, Cohen alleged, among others, that the Malaysian government purposely failed to comply with the purported Final Award and made outrageous assertions concerning the purported arbitrator, Dr. Gonzalo Stampa and his actions. The AGC said a police report was also lodged two days ago against Cohen for the unfair statement and allegations to allow for the necessary investigation to be made of any possible criminal offences committed under Malaysian laws.
They then took the matter to the Spanish arbitrator in 2019 and the purported arbitrator, Stampa, who was appointed by the group of individuals, decided in their favour.
