Rosmah: Plaintiffs bound by previous decision

KUALA LUMPUR: 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) and other plaintiffs in the US$346mil (RM1.6bil) lawsuit against Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor are bound by a previous court’s decision that the luxury goods within her possession were not proceeds from illegal activity.

Rosmah contended that the plaintiff’s legal action was impeded by the principle of res judicata whereby the same matter cannot be litigated twice.
