Rosmah posts RM1mil bail over money laundering charges and failure to declare income to IRB

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor has posted RM1mil of the RM2mil bail ordered by the Sessions Court.

This follows her charging last Thursday (Oct 4) with 12 counts of money laundering and five counts for failing to declare her income to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB).

Two women, believed to be her bailors, arrived at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex at Jalan Duta here around 10.15am on Monday (Oct 8) and went straight to the bail payment counter on the ground floor to sign the necessary documents.

They then left the court complex in a vehicle at 11.15 am.

Last Thursday, the Sessions Court allowed Rosmah bail of RM2mil with two sureties after the wife of former premier Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak pleaded not guilty to all the 17 charges involving RM7,097,750.

She was told to pay RM500,000 of the bail on the same day and the balance, before Oct 11.

Rosmah was also ordered to surrender her two passports to the court and to not intimidate witnesses in the case.

The court set Nov 8 for mention of the case. -Bernama
