KUALA LUMPUR - Rosmah Mansor, the wife of former Malaysia prime minister Najib Razak, will hear on Thursday whether a court has found her guilty of seeking bribes from firms coveting government contracts, just days after her husband was jailed for corruption.

Rosmah, 70, has pleaded not guilty to three charges of soliciting and receiving bribes between 2016 and 2017 to help a company secure a US$279 million solar power supply project from the government when her husband was in power. Rosmah has argued that she was framed by her former aide as well as several government and company officials involved in the project.
