The two Perak executive councillors fired the first salvo yesterday, filing a RM100 million suit against the Anti-Corruption Agency and three others at the High Court here yesterday.
The duo, Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu, 57, and Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi, 52, filed the suit pertaining to their arrests an hour before they were charged at the Sessions Court.
The suit was filed at the High Court registrar's office, where they named the Anti-Corruption Agency, its director-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan, Perak ACA director Samsiah Abu Bakar and Star Publications (M) Berhad as the defendants. In the writ of summons, they claimed that:
- ACA, Ahmad Said and Samsiah acted with malicious intent and orchestrated the arrest and detention, slandering them over bribes and sex in an attempt to kill both plaintiffs politically, tarnish the image of PKR and influence the Permatang Pauh by-election where PKR had nominated its adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
- ACA, Ahmad Said and Samsiah were aware that claims of bribes and sex were false but continued to disseminate the report.
- The Star on Aug 21, splashed the words "sex and bribes" on its front page, together with photographs of Osman and Jamaluddin, in which Osman was showned to be handcuffed.
They are seeking RM100 million in general damages for wrongful arrest, malicious prosecution and libel.
They are also suing Star Publications for general damages for libel, costs and other relief.
