KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian government hopes that the Madrid Court will, on Dec 11, sentence Spanish arbitrator Dr Gonzalo Stampa, who is facing charges for "unqualified professional practice” after controversially ordering Malaysia to pay US$14.92bil to the self-proclaimed heirs of the defunct Sulu Sultanate.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reforms) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said said she was a little apprehensive about the trial because Stampa is an influential individual in Madrid.
