Pendakwaan mohon tangguh keputusan berkait keterangan baharu kes Rosmah

On September 1st, the Federal Court allowed Rosmah Mansor's request to present fresh evidence in her appeal against a conviction for soliciting RM187.5 million from former Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd CEO Saidi Abang Samsudin. The Penebank, Asnawi Abu Hanipah, also filed an affidavit in support of the application. On September 1st, a three-judge panel comprising Judge Azhahari Kamal Ramli, Choo Kah Sing, and K Muniandy permitted Rosmah to present additional evidence, with proceedings to be recorded by a new High Court judge within two weeks following the case management, set for September 10th.

On September 5th, the prosecution filed a notice of appeal to the Federal Court to overrule the Federal Court's decision. Choo, delivering the full bench judgment, stated that the prosecution's 16th witness, Rayyan Radzwill Abdullah, would be examined through cross-examination and further re-examination. Rosmah, wife of former Prime Minister Najib Razak, had previously sought permission to rely on police reports, sworn affidavits from Rayyan, and supporting documents, alleging that Rayyan was under pressure by the prosecution during the trial and her confession.

On September 2nd, High Court Judge Zaini Mazlan sentenced Rosmah for soliciting RM5 million from Saidi via Rizal Mansor, a former assistant to Rosmah, in exchange for helping the company secure the solar hybrid project. Rizal also testified to having received RM1.5 million from Saidi at Rosmah's residence on September 7th, 2017.

Zaini imposed a 10-year prison sentence for each of the three convictions, to be served concurrently, and a RM970 million fine. Should Rosmah fail to pay the fine, she faces an additional 10 years in prison.
