Former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim will submit fresh evidence o­n March 18 to support his case when the Federal Court hears his application to review his conviction and sentence for corruption.

The fresh evidence is based o­n information contained in letters that lawyer Manjeet Singh Dhillon had written to Anwar's lawyers Zainur Zakaria and Christopher Fernando.

Another of Anwar's lawyers, Sankara Nair, said at a press conference today that Manjeet had filed an affidavit in the afternoon at the Federal Court registry, in relation to the fresh evidence.
