KUALA LUMPUR: Despite not holding any official position, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor's "overbearing nature" ensured her influence in the previous administration, says the prosecution.

The trial of the wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak over graft charges started on Wednesday (Feb 5) at the High Court here, with the prosecution attempting to prove that Rosmah solicited RM6.5mil in bribes related to a solar hybrid project in Sarawak from Saidi Abang Samsudin, who was managing director to Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd.
