The Attorney General of Malaysia has confirmed that the prosecution will file an appeal against the Court of Appeal’s decision to allow Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor to present additional evidence in her corruption conviction appeal. The Court of Appeal’s ruling permits Rosmah to obtain evidence from prosecution witness Rayyan Radzwill Abdullah via further questioning and reassessment.
The Court also mandated that any evidence submitted by the defense or prosecution must be linked to Rayyan’s additional evidence. The additional evidence must be presented before a new High Court judge within two weeks of the case management, scheduled for September 10. Rosmah, married to former Prime Minister Najib Razak, was convicted on three corruption charges involving RM1.25 billion in a solar hybrid project for rural schools in Sarawak.
She was sentenced to 10 years in prison, concurrent sentences, and fined RM970 million. The Court of Appeal has set the appeal hearing dates for October 4-16 and October 19-23.
