Rosmah Mansor

Jika disabitkan kesalahan, Rosmah boleh dipenjara maksimum 20 tahun dan denda tidak kurang lima kali ganda jumlah suapan.

She is accused of soliciting and accepting millions in bribes linked to a hybrid solar project for rural schools in Sarawak.

Hakim Zaini dalam menolak permohonan Rosmah itu berkata permohonan kedua ini adalah berdasarkan kepada asas yang sama dengan permohonan pertama.

High Court judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan says the second bid was mostly based on the same grounds as the first application, and that parties should not be allowed to litigate the same issue over and over again.

Pihak pendakwaan perlu memfailkan hujahan tambahan pada 22 April dan 12 Mei bagi menjawab hujahan itu.

The submissions must be filed on April 22 for the defence to answer by May 12.

Pihak pendakwaan berkata mereka telah membuktikan kes terhadap ketiga-tiga pertuduhan melampaui keraguan munasabah terhadap Rosmah.

It says she has failed to rebut the presumption of corrupt intention.

Ketua pendakwaan Gopal Sri Ram berkata hakim telah mengeluarkan keputusan ke atas permohonan sama Disember tahun lepas dan ia tidak boleh diteruskan.

Lead prosecutor Gopal Sri Ram says the application is a non-starter as a ruling on the same bid was already handed down in December last year.

Oral submissions will be heard on April 5.

Tarikh pendengaran baru akan ditetapkan pada 2 Mac.
