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.
