KUALA LUMPUR: The Spanish Supreme Court has dismissed the cassation appeal filed by arbitrator Gonzalo Stampa in the Sulu claimants’ case against Malaysia, thereby upholding his conviction for contempt of court. In a statement today, the Sulu Special Secretariat War Room said that in the unanimous decision delivered on Oct 8, the court affirmed the six-month prison sentence and one-year prohibition from acting as an arbitrator imposed by the Madrid Criminal Court on Dec 22, 2023. This ruling is final and marks the conclusion of all criminal proceedings against Stampa in Spain. According to the statement, the decision was received by the Government of Malaysia today. “This final judgment reaffirms that adherence to lawful orders remains the cornerstone of both justice and the integrity of dispute resolution,” the statement read. Meanwhile, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said said Malaysia welcomes the landmark ruling from Spain’s highest court as a definitive affirmation of the rule of law. “It demonstrates beyond doubt that the purported Sulu arbitration was the product of the unlawful and criminal conduct of a rogue arbitrator and vindicates the Government of Malaysia’s consistent position that the so-called award obtained by the Sulu claimants is null and void,” she said in the statement. In the meantime, the courts of Spain, France, and the Netherlands have now all confirmed Malaysia’s position concerning the Sulu case. Following the decision, the government extended its appreciation to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the Cabinet, the Minister in the Prime Minister Department (Law and Institutional Reform), the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Attorney General, the Director General of the Legal Affairs Division, Prime Minister’s Department for their unwavering support, coordination and commitment in defending Malaysia’s sovereignty and national interests throughout this complex international legal battle. It also thanked the Sulu Special Secretariat War Room and all relevant agencies, including the National Security Council, as well as Malaysia’s international legal counsel. “The Government of Malaysia reaffirms its unwavering commitment to defend Malaysia’s sovereignty, immunity and national interests against the baseless claims made in the Sulu fraud,” the secretariat said in the statement. Previously, eight citizens of the Philippines, who claimed to be heirs of the defunct Sulu sultanate, filed for arbitration proceedings in Spain seeking billions of dollars from Malaysia over Sabah. In March 2019, a court in Madrid appointed Stampa as the arbitrator for their claims. Malaysia had secured a decisive victory in the long-running dispute, as a result of favourable rulings by a Luxembourg court, the Hague Court of Appeal in the Netherlands, the Paris Court of Appeal in France, as well as the Spanish courts. - Bernama

LOS ANGELES : A man suspected of deliberately starting the Palisades fire has been indicted on two additional felony counts. Jonathan Rinderknecht now faces three arson-related charges for the blaze that became one of Los Angeles’s most destructive wildfires. The 29-year-old is accused of maliciously igniting a fire on January 1 that smoldered undetected before erupting into a major conflagration. This deadly wildfire killed twelve individuals and devastated the affluent Pacific Palisades community. Rinderknecht was arrested earlier this month in Florida and initially charged with one count of destruction of property by fire. A federal grand jury in Los Angeles added two further felony counts to his indictment on Wednesday. The new charges include one count of arson affecting property used in interstate commerce and one count of timber set afire. If convicted on all counts, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years and a maximum of 45 years in prison. Rinderknecht remains in jail without bond awaiting his arraignment in U.S. District Court. Prosecutors stated that an indictment eliminates the need for a preliminary hearing to establish probable cause. The Palisades fire destroyed approximately 6,000 structures and caused an estimated 150 billion dollars in property damage. This disaster coincided with the separate Eaton Fire that devastated much of the Altadena community. Authorities allege Rinderknecht was working as an Uber driver before heading to a Pacific Palisades hilltop trail. Court documents state he listened to a rap song depicting fire before setting the real blaze just after midnight. He reportedly fled the scene but returned shortly afterward to watch the flames and firefighting efforts. – Reuters

KUALA LUMPUR: Online fraud cases in Malaysia have shown a worrying upward trend with 47,854 incidents reported as of September this year. These cases resulted in total financial losses amounting to RM1.919 billion according to Deputy Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah. Police statistics from the Commercial Crime Investigation Department reveal a significant increase from 35,368 cases recorded throughout 2024. Last year’s scam incidents involved lower losses of RM1.574 billion compared to current figures. This substantial rise represents 12,486 additional victims falling prey to online fraud schemes. The government remains fully committed to implementing various countermeasures against this escalating crime wave. Stricter law enforcement forms a crucial part of the comprehensive strategy to combat digital fraud. Minister Shamsul Anuar provided these details during the oral question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat. He was responding to queries from Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan regarding government actions against online fraud. Legislative enhancements include recent amendments to the Penal Code specifically targeting cybercrime activities. New provisions under Sections 424A to 424D empower police to investigate and prosecute mule account operators. The government has also modified the Criminal Procedure Code to strengthen financial crime investigations. A new provision enables police to seize bank accounts suspected of criminal use, preventing fund transfers to fraudsters. Authorities are currently drafting a dedicated cybercrime bill to address evolving digital threats more effectively. This proposed legislation will further reinforce Malaysia’s legal framework against sophisticated online crimes. – Bernama
