BMF seeks Sabahan support in case against UBS

Bruno Manser Fund (BMF) has called on Sabahans to confer it with the power of attorney to strengthen the case against Swiss bank UBS on alleged money laundering for Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman.

“BMF needs a strong endorsement from Malaysian citizens from Sabah. We therefore invite you to sign the attached power of attorney and return it to BMF as soon as possible. 

“The more signatures we have, the stronger our case will be,” the Swiss-based NGO said in a statement today.

BMF said it has applied to be a private plaintiff in the case, and that would allow it access to case files, “in order to closely monitor the case and to further pressure UBS and the Swiss authorities”. 

BMF lodged a criminal case against UBS on Aug 29, 2012, for alleged money laundering linked to Musa (above) and his cronies.
