High Court finds Rosmah guilty of all three bribery charges

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 — Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor has been found guilty of all three charges of soliciting and accepting bribes amounting to RM194 million in return for assisting in a RM1.25 billion government contract to supply energy to rural schools in Sarawak.

“I find the accused failed to rebut the assumption that she did not receive the sums of money. I found the receipt of RM187.5 million was corruptly received, the second charge of receiving RM1.5 million and the third charge for receiving RM5 million was corruptly received in return for getting Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd a government contract through direct negotiations,” he said.

Rosmah, the wife of convicted former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, is charged with soliciting RM187.5 million in bribes from contractor Saidi Abang Samsudin in 2016 and 2017 so that his company Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd can secure a RM1.25 billion government project to supply electricity to the schools in Sarawak.

Hearing concluded in February this year, with 23 prosecution witnesses and two defence witnesses, including Rosmah, testifying during this two-year period.
