Appeals court stays recording of additional evidence in Rosmah case
High Court had fixed today to record additional evidence from a witness in Rosmah Mansor’s appeal against her corruption conviction over a RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project.
The Court of Appeal in Malaysia has stayed the recording of additional evidence in Rosmah Mansor's appeal against her corruption conviction related to a RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project. The decision was made by a three-member bench chaired by Justice Azhahari Kamal Ramli after a discussion between the prosecution and defense.
Rosmah's lawyer, Amer Hamzah Arshad, confirmed that the prosecution assured the defense that they would expedite the appeal to the Federal Court against the Court of Appeal's earlier decision allowing her to adduce additional evidence. The stay will remain in effect until the prosecution's appeal at the Federal Court is resolved.
The case was originally heard in the Kuala Lumpur High Court on September 2, 2022, where Rosmah was convicted of soliciting RM187.5 million from former Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd managing director Saidi Abang Samsudin and receiving RM5 million from him, as well as an additional RM1.5 million from him on separate occasions. Rosmah was sentenced to 10 years in jail and fined RM970 million, with an additional 10 years if she failed to pay the fine.
