Mr Al Tajir and Mr Salaam required payment for their assistance in promoting the Richco alliance, and it was Mr Al Tajir who agreed the division of the income generated by the scheme between himself, Mr Salaam and Mr Livingstone, and subsequently Mr Saad Salaam.

That is the effect of Mr Al Tajir's and Mr Livingstone's evidence; and Mr Salaam's evidence was not inconsistent with that.
