Paris –
A fantastic compensation of US $ 15 billion (Rp 231.9 trillion) was successfully obtained by a Sultan’s heir Sulu in a colonial-era dispute lawsuit with the government Malaysia. This lawsuit is heard by an arbitration court French since last year.
Regarding court decisions arbitration The French, the heirs of the Sultan of Sulu are targeting the confiscation of three properties in Paris owned by the Malaysian government. French bailiffs are reportedly trying to enforce the confiscation order. Thus as reported ReutersWednesday (8/3/2023).
The report by the attorney for the heirs of the Sultan of Sulu said that French bailiffs, on Monday (6/3) local time, attempted to assess the value of the properties in Paris belonging to the Malaysian government following a confiscation order issued by the court since December last year.
The evaluation and valuation is a preparation for a sale, where according to the lawyer, the proceeds from the sale will go to the heir of the Sultan of Sulu.
In response, a spokesperson for the Malaysian Ministry of Justice stated that the bailiffs did appear at the Malaysian Embassy in Paris, but were refused. They declined to comment further on this matter. Malaysia’s foreign ministry also declined to comment.
This colonial-era dispute stems from an agreement signed in 1878 between two European colonialists and the Sultan of Sulu for the use of its territory, which is currently the territory of the state of Malaysia.
The agreement was respected by independent Malaysia until 2013, paying the descendants of the Sultan of Sulu a sum of money annually.
Kuala Lumpur stopped making payments after a bloody 2013 attack by supporters of the former Sultan of Sulu who wanted to reclaim the land from Malaysia. The heirs of the Sultan of Sulu have said they were not involved in the attack and are seeking arbitration over the suspension of payments.
In the past, Sutan Sulu controlled an area that included the jungle-covered islands of the southern Philippines and parts of Borneo.
