Prosecution’s appeal in Rosmah’s fresh evidence bid still pending, court told
The appeal is against a Court of Appeal decision allowing Rosmah Mansor to adduce evidence to show that a witness testified under pressure from the prosecution.
The prosecution's appeal in Rosmah Mansor's fresh evidence bid for the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project corruption case remains pending, according to a recent High Court ruling. Judge Aslam Zainuddin set January 14, 2024, for further case management in the proceedings to record the additional evidence. Rosmah's lawyer, Akberdin Abdul Kader, informed the court that the Court of Appeal's grounds of judgment had yet to be made available, while Deputy public prosecutor Mustaffa P Kunyalam confirmed that the prosecution is also waiting for the same before proceeding with the appeal.
The Court of Appeal had previously granted Rosmah's request to adduce additional evidence on September 1, 2022, which involved a police report and a statutory declaration by witness Rayyan Radzwill Abdullah. Rosmah was convicted of three corruption charges related to the project and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment on each charge, to run concurrently, and fined RM970 million.
