Prosecution gets stay on hearing additional evidence in Rosmah's solar trial
PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal today allowed the prosecution's application to stay the hearing of additional evidence from a key prosecution witness in Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor's RM1.25 billion Sarawak solar hybrid project corruption case.
The Court of Appeal in Malaysia has granted the prosecution's request to postpone the hearing of additional evidence in the corruption case against Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor. The three-member panel, led by Datuk Azhahari Kamal Ramli, allowed the stay after deputy public prosecutor Mohd Asnawi Abu Hanipah informed the court that Rosmah had no objections.
The decision was made to expedite the appeal proceedings at the Federal Court, where the prosecution has assured a prompt resolution. The case centers around Rosmah's involvement in a RM1.25 billion hybrid solar project in Sarawak, for which she was convicted on three corruption charges and sentenced to 10 years in prison, with concurrent fines totaling RM970 million.
The conviction stemmed from allegations that she solicited RM187.5 million and received RM6.5 million from former Jepak Holdings managing director Saidi Abang Samsudin to secure the project. The Court of Appeal has set October 7 for further case management via e-Review, and vacated the original hearing scheduled for this October.
