星期天， 2007年10月14日
DAMNING新的证据一个关键证人在Lockerbie事例被支付了a ？2m奖励由美国调查员将由利比亚人构成法院呼吁的部分被判罪攻击。 来源紧挨苏格兰刑事案件回顾委员会(SCCRC)显露现金被付对马尔他店主托尼Gauci，直接奖励给关键的起诉证据，但假装了作为“报偿”。 在星期天苏格兰可能也显露另一个关键板条在呼吁将是用于炸弹的定时器的种类可利用的“到处”和不仅被卖到利比亚如法院所述的新的证据。 当二“错过的”呼吁地面由SCCRC，递交了奖励和定时器证据可能今天被证实。 委员会说它今年初发现了呼吁六地面，但只提供了细节四。 授予了Abdelbaset阿里Mohmed AlMegrahi第二呼吁反对他的信念为12月1988年Lockerbie轰炸， 270个人死。 利比亚人，是服务生活在Greenock监狱，预计安排他的案件明年被审理。 SCCRC度过了审查Megrahi的信念的三年和在结束以后今年初提到了论点为呼吁那里可能是误判。 托尼Gauci是一个绝对关键的证人在原始的试验，给“可靠的”证据Megrahi在他的商店买了以后用于包裹炸弹的衣裳。 Gauci的证据长期被认为有争议，并且已经有要求他从调查员接受了奖励和款待。 现在，一个来源紧挨SCCRC提供了第一确认Gauci接受了坚固奖励，并且它构成地面的部分为呼吁案件。 委员会周到地检查了要求，并且发现他接受了`每现象款项’从美国。 来源紧挨Megrahi的防御投入了近似总和在$4m或者？2m以当前交换率。 在星期天来源紧挨SCCRC告诉苏格兰： “它[奖励]在案件穿戴了作为报偿为对他的他的生活和事务的冲击关闭介入。 “但是它明白它实际上是奖励。 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.
