KUALA LUMPUR: Rosmah Mansor has been sentenced to 10 years in jail and fined RM970 million after being found guilty of corruption in connection with the RM1.25 billion Sarawak rural schools’ solar energy project.
However, the court granted her request to suspend the jail sentence and fine pending her appeal to the Court of Appeal.
Rosmah, 70, had earlier been found guilty of all three counts of corruption against her.
She had been charged with soliciting RM187.5 million from former Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd managing director Saidi Abang Samsudin through her former aide, Rizal Mansor, as an inducement to help the company secure the RM1.25 billion Sarawak schools’ solar energy project.
She was also charged with receiving a bribe amounting to RM5 million from Saidi, through Rizal, at Seri Perdana in Putrajaya on Dec 20, 2016, and receiving another RM1.5 million from Saidi at Jalan Langgak Duta on Sept 7, 2017.
