Ex-Malaysian PM Najib's wife Rosmah gets 10 years' jail, fined $303m for corruption

Ex-Malaysian PM Najib's wife Rosmah gets 10 years' jail, fined $303m for corruption KUALA LUMPUR - Rosmah Mansor, the wife of former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak, was sentenced to 10 years' jail and fined RM970 million (S$303 million) for graft on Thursday, just over a week after her husband was  jailed when Malaysia's highest court affirmed his corruption conviction. Rosmah, 70, was found guilty by Malaysia's High Court of soliciting a total of RM194 million in bribes to help solar energy firm Jepak Holdings secure  a RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project  for hundreds of schools in Sarawak in 2016. The sentence is stayed pending her appeal against conviction. She is allowed to remain out on bail, which has been maintained at RM2 million. https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/malaysian-court-finds-ex-pms-wife-rosmah-guilty-of-corruption

Malaysia ex-PM Najib begins 12-year jail sentence after failing to overturn 1MDB conviction

Malaysia ex-PM Najib begins 12-year jail sentence after failing to overturn 1MDB conviction The Federal Court's verdict followed one by the High Court that in July 2020, found Najib guilty of receiving about RM42 million (S$13 million) from SRC International in his personal bank account. The High Court sentence was upheld by a three-member Court of Appeal in December last year. But Najib, 69, was allowed to post bail and live freely, pending his appeal, allowing him to make a political comeback and play an influential role in his party Umno.   The five-member Federal Court bench led by the Chief Justice, Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, ruled against Najib on Tuesday, after a week in which his defence team - which saw a revolving door of lawyers -  refused to make any written or oral submissions in defence of their client. https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/malaysia-ex-pm-najib-to-serve-jail-sentence-after-failing-to-overturn-final-1mdb-appeal
