Her counsel, Akberdin Abdul Kader, said today the application would be filed soon.

“We confirm that the High Court has allowed the application by the prosecution to transfer this case (from the Sessions Court to the High Court). We were informed of the matter on Friday, March 15.

“On Monday, March 18, we filed an appeal against the decision. We will also file an application to stay the decision,” he told the Sessions Court presided over by judge Azman Ahmad.

Akberdin said this when the case came up for mention at the Sessions Court. Rosmah, 67, was in court with Najib.

Earlier, deputy public prosecutor Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar told the court that High Court judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah had allowed a prosecution application to have the case transferred from the Sessions Court to the High Court.

Azman then transferred the case to the High Court.

On Nov 15 last year, Rosmah pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here to two counts of corruption, of soliciting RM187.5 million through her former aide Rizal Mansor and of receiving RM1.5 million in bribes relating to the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project for rural schools in Sarawak, in 2016.
