Sulu case: French court ends so-called heirs' claims over Malaysia's diplomatic assets, says Azalina

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia created another piece of history after securing a decisive legal victory in the French Court that puts an end to the purported Sulu heirs' claims over Malaysian diplomatic assets, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reforms) said that on Nov 6, the French Court had annulled the order of the rising of a statue to be mortgaged against a Malaysian diplomatic building in Paris by a self-proclaimed Sulu group from the Philippines.
