Solar corruption case: Rosmah gets 10 years jail, RM970m fine
The wife of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak was convicted over three graft charges linked to the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court this afternoon sentenced Rosmah Mansor to 10 years in jail and a RM970 million fine in lieu of another 30 years in prison.
However, the sentence can stay pending an appeal to the Court of Appeal.
Trial judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan ruled the accused failed to raise reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case and that prosecutors succeeded in establishing a case beyond reasonable doubt against her.
One charge accused Rosmah of soliciting RM187.5 million and two other counts accused her of receiving bribes of RM6.5 million from Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd’s former managing director Saidi Abang Samsuddin, through her former special officer Rizal Mansor.
It was allegedly done as an inducement to help the company to secure the Hybrid Photovoltaic Solar System Integrated Project and Maintenance and Operation of Genset/Diesel for 369 rural Sarawak schools.
