Following claims by Attorney General, Martin Amidu that investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas is operating his Tiger Eye PI company \u201cfraudulently\u201d lawyers of some of the implicated judges in the recent corruption scandal say they will petition the Judicial Council over his credibility.<\/p>\n

The lawyers say the latest revelation by Mr. Amidu that Anas\u2019s Tiger Eye PI is fraudulent and a \u201cdummy\u201d organization gives them an opportunity to petition the Judicial Council.<\/p>\n

He also accused Anas of suppressing parts of the judicial corruption video to shield some of the judges and challenged the investigative body to release the full and unedited piece.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”gBqZOSZXlCmDeucMUKt4N5CxW7fxldcg”]Speaking to Citi News<\/strong> one of the lawyers, Charles Bentum said they will pursue the matter through designated channels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe supposed persons whose investigation report was received by the judicial service was Tigereye PI. He [Mr. Amidu] is saying that Tigereye PI is not an incorporated person at law. What it means is that no petition in law has been submitted for the removal of our client because you can\u2019t put something on nothing and let it stand.\u201d<\/p>\n

He argued that \u201cIf somebody in law doesn\u2019t exist, there is no way the person can present an investigative report that we have had in the last few months.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been under the impression that the company Tigereye PI Media Ghana Limited was the same as Tigereye PI and I have now woken up to find that they are not same. And to that extent, we think that the whole of the processes that we\u2019ve been through so far should be reviewed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Earlier, another lawyer for the implicated judges,\u00a0John Ndebugri explained that the revelation by Martin Amidu will help unravel the \u201ctruth\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in the matter.<\/p>\n

He said Mr. Amidu\u2019s piece \u201cwill inure to the benefit of whoever is being dealt with under the petition he [Anas] presented [to the Chief Justice].\u201d<\/p>\n
