English term or phrase: Whose signature and who is the "latter"?

This is to certify that John an agent of Larry has stated in my very presence that the latter acknowledge himself to have affixed his signature to the attached document.

I am quite puzzled by this statement, anyone please help?
Thanks in advance!
