Some 'ironing out' needed before Rosmah, AGC agree on bid to quash money laundering case


KUALA LUMPUR: Some matters still need "ironing out" in the agreement between Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor and the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) over the 17 charges of money laundering and tax evasion she faces, the High Court here was told.

DPP Ahmad Akram Gharib said both parties needed to finalise further details before arriving at a resolution.

“On the last occasion, I did inform (the court) that we are in the final (stages of the) decision.

“However, the case involves tax issues and we need to work it out with the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN).

“That procedure takes time. Because of this, we have yet to reach the final decision,” he told Justice K. Muniandy during case management here on Friday (Sept 6).

Justice Muniandy then fixed Oct 11 for Rosmah's defence to resume submissions in her application to have the charges dropped.

Rosmah, who was represented by Joshua Tay in Friday's proceedings, was exempted from physically attending court.

On Aug 23, the High Court was informed that Rosmah's defence team and the AGC had reached an agreement on the representation she submitted to quash the 17 charges.

This is Rosmah's third representation and was sent to the AGC on Dec 13.

She had first submitted representations on May 3 and Aug 18 last year.

The wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak applied to be discharged and acquitted of 12 money laundering charges involving more than RM7mil and five charges of failing to declare her income to the LHDN on Oct 4, 2020.

She allegedly committed all the offences at Affin Bank Berhad, Natural Rubber Building Branch, Jalan Ampang between Dec 4, 2013 and June 8, 2017; and at the LHDN office in Government Complex, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim here, from May 1, 2014 to May 1, 2018.
