Rosmah Mansor will know on Feb 18 whether she walks away or will have to enter her defence against corruption charges pertaining to soliciting a RM187.5 million bribe.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court had fixed the date after the presiding judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan heard the oral submissions from both the prosecution and defence teams today.
Rosmah, wife of former premier Najib Razak, was represented by lawyers led by Jagjit Singh and Akberdin Abdul Kader while former High Court judge Gopal Sri Ram led the prosecution team.
Rosmah is facing three counts of corruption for allegedly soliciting RM187.5 million from Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd managing director Saidi Abang Samsudin as an inducement to help the company secure a solar project for 369 rural schools in Sarawak costing RM1.25 billion through direct negotiation with the Education Ministry.
She is also accused of receiving bribes amounting to RM6.5 million from Saidi between 2016 and 2017.
