One of the sons of the Mauritanian opposition figure Muhammad Khouna Weld Hedallah; Seidi Muhammad, strongly denied that he had received a sum of 1 million dollars from Libya, as stated by one of his lawyer Ibrahim Weld Abati yesterday.
| A million bucks? First Billy Carter, then Alamoudi, and now this... Why the hell don't the Libyans try to bribe me? I could be rented for half that amount! |
One of Weld Hedallah's lawyers and the other 14 persons detained with him, who are accused by the authority of preparing for a coup announced on Thursday that the file of accusations includes "evidence" to paying this money and Seidi Muhammad was in charge of this money. According to Weld Abatai "the elements stated in the (charges) file do not constitute any proved evidence." The lawyer confirmed that the charges are completely without merit, stressing that his clients "are innocent from all accusations alleged by the authority."
