KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has filed an application to compel Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and senior lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah to produce their bank account statements. Anwar is also seeking an order for Shafee to produce his bank statements for the same periods, alleging that Shafee received RM4.3mil and RM5.2mil from Najib. Anwar filed the application at the High Court Registry here via Messrs Daim & Gamany Thursday, and he has named the Government of Malaysia as the defendant. He said that on Jan 9, 2012, the High Court acquitted him of sodomising his aide and the public prosecutor filed an appeal against the decision. Anwar said that Shafee was appointed by the public prosecutor to conduct the appeal and claimed that Shafee had a material interest in prosecuting him.
