We have formed a legal defense team that includes prominent American, European, Asian and Arab lawyers who were chosen on the basis of competence and merit to put up a strong defense.
This move is to put the defense team on a proper legal foundation and when the family appoints lawyers it then knows who is whom.
There was never any proper legal team. It was a media hype more than anything else.
They have more than one counsel in every country claiming to represent him. This can lead to conflicting legal opinion that may damage the interest of the client.
The man has been denied legal access, he has not been given enough legal advice or told of his rights, and he can't see the lawyer of his choice. That is not how it works.
