Accepted Answer

Rosmah Mansor Acquitted of All 17 Charges in RM7 Million Money Laundering and Tax Evasion Case

Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor has been acquitted of all 17 charges related to alleged money laundering of RM7 million and tax evasion on the same amount, following the prosecution's decision to withdraw its appeal against her acquittal. This decision by the prosecution effectively concludes the legal proceedings concerning these specific charges, confirming her acquittal by the High Court.
Charges Filed Against Rosmah Mansor

Rosmah Mansor faced a total of 17 charges. The charges included 12 counts of money laundering, alleging that RM7,097,750 was deposited illegally into her Affin Bank account between December 4, 2013, and June 8, 2017. The remaining five counts pertained to alleged tax evasion, where she was accused of failing to declare the same RM7,097,750 amount to the Inland Revenue Board for the tax assessment years from 2013 to 2017.
Prosecution's Withdrawal of Appeal

The prosecution formally notified the Court of Appeal on December 9 of its intention to withdraw the appeal against Rosmah Mansor's acquittal. A deputy registrar at the Court of Appeal subsequently confirmed to the High Court that the appeal had been withdrawn, leading to its dismissal under Rule 73 of the Rules of the Court of Appeal 1994. No specific reasons were provided by the prosecution for this decision.
High Court Acquittal

Previously, on December 19, 2024, High Court judge K. Muniandy had granted Rosmah Mansor's application to strike out all 17 charges against her. The acquittal was based on the manner in which the charges were framed. The legal proceedings for these specific charges are now concluded due to the prosecution's subsequent withdrawal of their appeal.
