AG to challenge ruling allowing Rosmah to adduce fresh evidence
Dusuki Mokhtar says a notice of appeal must be filed within 14 days of the Court of Appeal ruling.
Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar intends to appeal the Court of Appeal's decision, which permitted Rosmah Mansor to present new evidence in her corruption case involving a solar hybrid project. The court ruled on Tuesday, granting Rosmah's request to introduce fresh evidence, including a police report, a sworn statement from a prosecution witness, and supporting documents.
The new evidence is to be presented before a new High Court judge within two weeks, with case management scheduled for September 10. Rosmah had sought leave to rely on these materials in her appeal against her conviction for soliciting RM187.5 million from a former Jepak Holdings director and receiving RM5 million and RM1.5 million from the same director through an aide.
The High Court previously convicted Rosmah of three charges, sentencing her to 10 years in prison for each, to run concurrently, and imposing a RM970 million fine. If she fails to pay the fine, an additional 10 years in prison is mandated.
