Evidence from EFCC detective Michael Wetkas revealed that some documents that were supposed to be used as evidence of transactions in Senate President Saraki’s foreign account got burnt.
The detective said that in the course of his investigation, officials of GTB told him that some of the documents showing the transactions got burnt.
Paul Usoro (SAN), Saraki’s lawyer was asking Wetkas on some fund transfers from the senate president’s Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) account to his alleged American Express bank account.
Wetkas said
“Several telexes from American Express Bank and facts are here from the bank (GTB),
“All the transfer requests made by the investigating team to provide information was an offshoot of a debit transaction that was already consummated on that account, which showed that the bank it carried out.
“There is no doubt that the transaction was actually carried out by American Express Bank.
“There were also police report and an affidavit, which they (GTB) swore to, to show that some of the documents were burnt. There is an affidavit and I believe it was a fire outbreak.”
Wetkas was also asked by the defence counsel if he asked to find out if American Express Bank exists to which he answered that his investigation was not on American Express Bank but on the account.
