KUALA LUMPUR:
The Spanish Supreme Court has dismissed the cassation appeal filed by arbitrator Gonzalo Stampa in the Sulu claimants’ case against Malaysia, 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.
The ruling is final and marks the conclusion of all criminal proceedings against Stampa in Spain.
