KUALA LUMPUR – Rosmah Mansor has been acquitted by Malaysia’s High Court of 12 counts of money laundering involving RM7 million (S$2.1 million) and five counts of failing to declare her income to the Inland Revenue Board. Justice K. Muniandy issued the order of discharge and acquittal after granting Rosmah’s application to dismiss all charges on the basis that they were flawed. The case was partially heard with testimony from two witnesses.

The Attorney-General’s Chambers said on Dec 19 it will appeal against the decision. Rosmah said the acquittal came as a “meaningful gift” during her birthday month. She was unable to hold back her emotions as she expressed relief at closing this chapter after six years of legal battle.

“My acquittal on my birthday is only meaningful gift for me it also gift for my Bossku (Najib).This is what I call justice, she said, when met by press after proceedings ended.
