One of the counsels of junket operator Kim Wong said his client will tell the truth on today’s hearing (Tuesday) of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee to belie accusations he was behind the $81-million money-laundering scandal.
Lawyer Inocencio Ferrer Jr. said nothing will stop his client from telling the Senate everything he knows to help in the investigation.
“As early as March 7, I personally visited the Anti-Money Laundering Council [AMLC] to offer my client’s cooperation. In good faith, I went to AMLC to ask them how my client can be of assistance in their investigation,” Ferrer said. While AMLC have yet to call us, our offered assistance remains, Ferrer stressed.
“Mr. Kim Wong is only armed with the truth. He will prove that he is not hiding and that he will fully cooperate in this investigation,” Ferrer stressed.
