ACP Beh previously said that investigations had commenced after the Federal Court chief registrar’s office lodged a police report.

“The document is a research document regarding a case that is still under trial and it is the view of the research unit as a reference for the judge.

“According to the complainant, the document will be amended based on the research and is not the decision of the court,” he said in a statement.

This follows a report by Raja Petra Kamarudin that was published on Aug 26 titled “Rosmah Mansor will be pronounced guilty on 1st September 2022”.

“This media report claimed that the decision by the court to find Rosmah Mansor guilty has already been made,” said ACP Beh.

“However, the complainant said that the document was not the judgment.”

The matter was being investigated, including under the Official Secrets Act 1972, he added.

“Kuala Lumpur police advise all to not simply share articles that could create civil unrest and uneasiness among the public,” he said.
