Meaningful gift’, says Najib’s wife Rosmah after court acquits her of 17 money laundering, tax evasion charges.

KUALA LUMPUR: In the latest development of a legal battle spanning six years, the Malaysian High Court on Thursday (Dec 19) discharged and acquitted Rosmah Mansor - the wife of former prime minister Najib Razak - of 17 money laundering and tax evasion charges.


In 2018, Rosmah was charged with 12 charges of money laundering involving RM7.09 million (US$1.57 million) and five charges of failing to declare her income to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB).

Justice K Muniandy said that the charges against Rosmah were flawed as they did not comply with the provisions in the Criminal Procedure Code.

“The charges amounted to duplicity and multiplicity. Furthermore, they did not disclose any offence,” he was quoted as saying by local media on Dec 19.

Muniandy said he was using his original jurisdiction and inherent power as trial judge to give the accused an acquittal and discharge.

Following her acquittal, Rosmah appeared to breathe a sigh of relief as she faced the media scrum outside the court.

“My lawyers have assured me since day one that these charges had no basis but you can never be certain,” Rosmah was quoted as saying by the New Straits Times.

Rosmah, 73, regarded her acquittal during her birthday month as a gift not just for herself but also for her husband.

“My acquittal on my birthday (month) is not only a meaningful gift for me but also a gift for my Bossku (Najib),” she said, as quoted by the New Straits Times, referring to the moniker that supporters of Najib had used on the former premier.
