KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here today discharged and acquitted Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor of 12 charges of money laundering involving RM7 million, as well as five charges of failing to declare her income to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB).
Judge K. Muniandy granted an order of acquittal after allowing Rosmah's application to have all charges against her quashed.
The application was based on the grounds that the charges were defective and failed to disclose the essential elements of the alleged offences.
Rosmah, 73, filed the application to strike out the charges in September 2023.
The hearing commenced on Dec 12 of the same year, following partial proceedings during which two witnesses had testified.
