00:00The Attorney General's Chambers intends to challenge the High Court's decision that
00:07cleared Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor of money laundering and tax evasion charges.
00:12Lead Prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib confirmed the plan to appeal following the proceedings
00:17on Thursday.
00:19Rosmah had filed to quash her 12 charges of money laundering involving more than seven
00:25million ringgit and five charges of failing to declare her personal income to the Inland
00:31Revenue Board on October 4, 2020.
00:36In his judgment, Judge K. Muniandi stated that the charges against Rosmah failed to
00:41specify that she was directly engaged in a transaction involving illegal proceeds, and
00:47did not clarify the nature of the transaction or how she was directly involved.
00:53The judge noted that the charges against Rosmah only alleged that the monies were
00:57deposited into her account.
01:00He said the unlawful activity was also not disclosed, but the proceeds of unlawful activity
01:06appeared from nowhere.
01:08The judge added that, without those elements, the charges merely describe the act of depositing
01:14a sum of money into a bank account, which in itself is not an offence by law.
