Sulu Case: Madrid Court of Appeal upholds Stampa’s conviction, sentence

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department , Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said. - BERNAMAPIX: The Madrid Court of Appeal has upheld the contempt of court conviction and sentence of arbitrator Gonzalo Stampa in the Sulu claimants case against Malaysia.

“The Madrid Court of Appeal has now dismissed Stampa’s appeal and has confirmed that Stampa had an obligation to comply with the rulings and orders of the Madrid High Court, regardless of his opinion of them or any developments in the purported arbitration that he illegally continued to chair, even after the annulment with retroactive effects of his appointment and of the partial award on jurisdiction that he had issued,” she elaborated.

In view of the reported facts, the Madrid public prosecutor filed its own complaint against Stampa for serious contempt of court, and the criminal offence of unqualified professional practice. She expressed Malaysia’s confidence that this victory would be a further deterrent to the ominous actions carried out by the perpetrators of the Sulu fraud, adding that it confirms once again that the fraud was aided by the criminal behaviour of a rogue arbitrator.
