The prosecution has filed an application to stay the Court of Appeal's decision that allowed Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor to adduce additional evidence in her appeal against her conviction in the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project corruption case. Deputy public prosecutor Mohd Asnawi Abu Hanipah confirmed the application was filed at the Court of Appeal on September 9.
The prosecution had filed its notice of appeal against the Court of Appeal's ruling on September 4. The Court of Appeal had allowed Rosmah's application to adduce additional evidence on August 1, directing that it be taken before a new High Court judge within two weeks of case management. The additional evidence consists of a police report and a statutory declaration by Rayyan Radzwill Abdullah, who allegedly claimed he was subjected to pressure from the prosecution during the trial.
Rosmah was convicted on three corruption charges under Section 16(a)(A) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009 and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment, to run concurrently, with a fine of RM970 million.
