Lockerbie witness 'given £2m reward'

This is the title of an article by Marcello Mega in today's Scotland on Sunday. In it he states, quoting a source "close to the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission" that the Maltese shopkeeper, Tony Gauci, was paid $4m by "US investigators" as a reward for his testimony in the Lockerbie case. The money was described as compensation for the dislocation to his personal and business life caused by his involvement in the Lockerbie case, but was in fact simply a reward for giving testimony favourable to the prosecution.

The same source indicated that the SCCRC had discovered that MST-13 timers were "all over the place" and were not, as the prosecution contended, supplied only to Libya (with a few also going to the East German Stasi). See
