The Court of Appeal has ordered the High Court to record further evidence from key prosecution witness Rayyan Radzwill Abdullah in Rosmah Mansor's corruption appeal. The case involves a solar hybrid project for rural schools in Sarawak, and the appeal was upheld by a unanimous decision by a three-member panel. Rosmah's application to introduce new evidence relating to Rayyan's testimony has merit, and the panel has directed that additional evidence be recorded before a new High Court judge.
The new evidence includes a police report, statutory declaration, and supporting affidavit submitted by Rayyan. The panel emphasized that the evidence's relevance and credibility must be assessed, as it could impact the conviction. Rosmah's lawyer, Datuk Amer Hamzah Arshad, highlighted potential issues, including threats and intimidation against witnesses.
The case was initially sentenced to 10 years in prison and RM970 million fine, but the appeal has been deferred to October 14.
