Prosecution to appeal Rosmah ruling allowing additional evidence, says AG
PUTRAJAYA, Sept 4 — The prosecution will appeal the Court of Appeal’s decision allowing Datin Seri Rosmah Ma...
Prosecution intends to challenge the Court of Appeal's ruling that permits Rosmah Mansor, wife of former Prime Minister Najib Razak, to present supplementary evidence in her corruption conviction appeal, according to Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar. The AG confirmed that the prosecution would file the appeal as soon as possible, as the notice of appeal must be submitted within 14 days of the court's decision.
The Court of Appeal previously granted Rosmah's request to introduce additional evidence from prosecution witness Rayyan Radzwill Abdullah, subject to further cross-examination and re-examination. The additional evidence should be recorded before a new High Court judge within two weeks following the case management, scheduled for September 10.
Rosmah, convicted in September 2022 on three corruption charges under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act, was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment and fined RM970 million for her role in the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project grant to rural schools in Sarawak.
