AMALDIÇOAR a evidência nova que uma testemunha chave no exemplo de Lockerbie estêve pagada uma recompensa de £2m por investigators dos E.U. dará forma à parte da apelação da corte pelo Libyan convicted do ataque.

As fontes perto do Commission Criminal Scottish da revisão dos casos (SCCRC) revelaram que o dinheiro estêve pagado ao shopkeeper Maltese Gauci Tony como uma recompensa direta dando a evidência crucial do prosecution mas foram disfarçadas como a “compensação”.

Scotland em domingo pode também revelar que uma outra prancha chave na apelação será a evidência nova que o tipo de temporizador usado na bomba estava disponível “toda sobre o lugar” e vendido não apenas a Líbia segundo a corte.

A evidência da recompensa e do temporizador pode hoje ser confirmada enquanto os dois “” terras faltando da apelação se submeteram pelo SCCRC. O Commission disse que tinha descoberto no começo desse ano seis terras da apelação mas deu somente detalhes de quatro.

O al-Megrahi de Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed foi concedido uma segunda apelação de encontro a sua convicção para o bombardeio de dezembro 1988 Lockerbie, em que 270 povos morreram. O Libyan, que é vida do serving na prisão de Greenock, espera-se ter seu caso ano seguinte ouvido.

O SCCRC gastou três anos que examinam a convicção de Megrahi e consultou no começo desse ano o argumento para trás para a apelação após conclir lá poderia ter sido um miscarriage da justiça.

Gauci Tony era uma testemunha absolutamente crucial na experimentação original, dando a evidência “de confiança” que Megrahi comprou a roupa em sua loja que foi usada mais tarde envolver a bomba. A evidência de Gauci tem sido considerada por muito tempo controversa e tem havido já umas reivindicações que recebeu recompensas e deleites dos investigators.

Agora, uma fonte perto do SCCRC forneceu a primeira confirmação que Gauci recebeu uma recompensa substancial e que deu forma à parte das terras para apelar o caso.

O Commission verificou completamente para fora as reivindicações e encontrado recebeu o `um a soma phenomenal do dinheiro' dos E.U. As fontes perto da defesa de Megrahi puseram a soma em $4m, ou aproximadamente £2m em taxas de troca atuais.

A fonte perto do SCCRC disse Scotland em domingo: “[A recompensa] foi vestido acima como da compensação para o impacto em seus vida e negócio de his participação do fim no caso.

“Mas ele espaço livre que é realmente uma recompensa. The US and UK governments needed a conviction in the case and the fact that the key witness was rewarded for his testimony casts doubts on its value.

“It is not acceptable to pay a witness as that practice is likely to make him anxious to please.”

Gauci is understood to be planning to use his newfound wealth to fund a move to Australia with his brother, Paul, who was also on the witness list but was not called to give evidence.

Maltese sources have also revealed that Gauci has stepped up security at the home in Swieqi which he shares with his brother. He rarely ventures out other than to the shop.

One source said: “He used to like the feeling of importance that being a major witness in such a big case gave him, but now he realises he could be a target for some people. He knows doubts have been expressed about his evidence. He gets very jumpy when anyone he doesn’t know approaches, and if the press call him he hangs up.”

The source claimed the reward had caused a split in the Gauci family.

The brothers have five surviving siblings, as well as one who died, and the others have a stake in the shop, Mary’s House, which was founded by their father. Although other family members had little or nothing to do with the investigation, the fact that it was presented as ‘compensation’ which related in part to the impact on the business has led the other siblings to demand a share.

The family split has further reinforced the determination of the brothers to seek a new life.

Another source, a Scottish investigator who worked with the brothers over a number of years, said: “Paul was always going off to Australia and it became a bit of a dream for them that they would move there.”

Contacted at their home, Paul Gauci said: “We are under very heavy pressure here. The press want to photograph us, everybody wants to interview my brother, we have no privacy. When we step out the door, there are people with cameras. Our lives are intolerable here.”

The second “missing” appeal ground relates to a fragment of timer found in a shirt collar and later confirmed as part of the mechanism which detonated the bomb above Lockerbie. The original court case heard evidence the Swiss-made MST13 timers were only supplied to Libya.

At a preliminary hearing on Thursday, Megrahi’s lawyers demanded the release of a document in the possession of the Crown and believed to have come from a foreign intelligence agency they believe will disprove that part of the case.

Much has been made of the importance of that document since its existence was leaked to the media by Megrahi’s legal team. But informed sources close to the SCCRC have confirmed that an abundance of evidence has already emerged to show the MST13s, made by the Swiss firm Mebo, ‘were all over the place’.

It was established long ago that they were also supplied to the Stasi, the East German secret police, but it has now emerged that they had a much wider penetration than the Crown’s case implied.
