At Last, UK Releases 2009 Letter Of “Ibori MP,” Tony Baldry
“Ibori MP”, Tony Baldry
By SaharaReporters, New York
The British Government has finally released—but partly—the September 2009 letter on behalf of former Delta State governor James Ibori that it received from a Conservative Member of Parliament, Tony Baldry.
The letter, which ignited a Freedom of Information (FOI) controversy in 2010, demonstrates why Mr. Baldry did not want it in the hands of the public: while he did not make a direct case for Ibori or his associates, the letter was a disguised, intensely-sympathetic appeal to the government to intervene on their behalf.
