POLICE has opened an investigation regarding allegations linking Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor to the purchase or financing of a luxury property in New Jersey, United States (US), which is allegedly worth US$13 million.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail said that so far, his department has received three police reports regarding the issue, and investigations are underway.
He said that several witnesses have been called to record their statements, while the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is also assisting in the investigation.
He said the investigation was conducted under Section 500 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 as well as Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948.
"The results of the initial investigation found that the social media account that spread the allegations is believed to be fake.
"The police have received three reports regarding this matter, and the investigation is still ongoing. Relevant witnesses have also been called, while MCMC is cooperating in the investigation," he said today.
Mohd Khalid also advised the public not to speculate or spread allegations without evidence, as it could affect the investigation process and make it difficult to prosecute in court.
"We advise the public not to speculate on a matter without solid evidence, as it could make it difficult to prove the case in court," he said.
Previously, the wife of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was reported to have lodged a police report for authorities to investigate the allegations linking her to the property in question.
Rosmah stressed that the allegations that went viral on social media were untrue and malicious and meant to tarnish her reputation.
She also denied any involvement in the use of shell companies, offshore financial structures or having any links to any individuals and entities mentioned in the viral video on the matter.
"I have never financed, facilitated or arranged any transactions on behalf of "My son-in-law or any other individual or entity," she said.
Rosmah described the allegations as baseless and malicious, claiming that the dissemination of misleading content was intended to deceive the public and undermine confidence in the legal process.
She also called for a comprehensive investigation to ensure that the facts could be clarified and to counter false narratives being spread through online platforms. – June 15, 2026
