ROSMAH Mansor will apply for her money-laundering case to be heard at the high court, her lawyers told reporters today.

She will file her application for transfer before December 6, her lawyer Geetham Ram said following the case management for the 17 money-laundering and tax evasion charges against Rosmah.

Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court judge Azura Alwi presided over the case management. Rosmah’s lead counsel K. Kumaraendran also represented her today.

Rosmah, wearing an orange headscarf and baju kurung, was accompanied by her husband, Najib Razak, and son Norashman Najib. She did not speak to the media.

Geetham confirmed that the defence has received some 600 pages of documents that prosecutors will use as evidence.

“These documents are not complete. There are more documents to be served to us,” he told reporters outside the court, adding that on December 6, the defence will update the court on the transfer application.

Rosmah was granted bail at RM2 million after claiming trial to 17 charges in relation to money-laundering and failure to declare income to the Inland Revenue Board.

She faces eight charges for money-laundering that resulted in RM1 million transferred into her bank account at Affin Bank Bhd across seven transactions between December 4, 2013 and December 8, 2014.

She also faces four charges for conducting money-laundering activities involving RM6.097 million via 227 transactions between September 4, 2014 and June 8, 2017.

Rosmah was also charged with five counts for failing to provide an income statement for the monies received, as required under the Income Tax Act 1967.

She pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

Former Federal Court judge Gopal Sri Ram is leading the prosecution. – November 8, 2018.
