THE Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) remains decided on Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor's request to drop 12 money laundering charges involving more than RM7 million and five charges of failing to declare her income to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB).
At the start of today's hearing at the Kuala Lumpur High Court, Rosmah’s lawyer Amer Hamzah Arshad informed the court that the defence wished to proceed with its application to strike out all the 17 charges against her.
This is the third representation sent by Rosmah, and was done in December last year.
In his submission, Amer argued that the charges against his client were not properly detailed as required by law, causing Rosmah to be confused about the exact nature of the alleged offences.
He also said there were overlaps in the charges where his client was accused of the same offence twice.
Judge K. Muniandy fixed Aug 23 for further submissions in the case.
Apart from Amer, Rosmah is represented by Datuk Firoz Hussein Ahmad Jamaluddin, Reza Rahim and former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad.
The wife of former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak is facing 12 money laundering charges involving RM7,097,750, and five counts of failure to declare her income to the Inland Revenue Board between December 4, 2013, to June 8, 2017. – The Vibes, July 4, 2024
