She arrived at 9.15am.

Her husband, Najib Razak, arrived separately later. He will be attending his 1MDB trial after the court delivers its decision on Rosmah’s case.

Last week, the court heard submissions from the prosecution and Rosmah’s lawyer at the close of the prosecution’s case.

The defence contended that no proof had been presented during the trial that Rosmah had personally solicited and accepted bribes from then Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd managing director Saidi Abang Samsudin.

However, ad hoc prosecutor Gopal Sri Ram told the court the charges against Rosmah were “not that she personally solicited the bribe in question” but that it was done instead through her former aide, Rizal Mansor.

Rosmah is accused of three counts of corruption for allegedly soliciting RM187.5 million from Saidi as an inducement to help Jepak Holdings 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.

Twenty-three witnesses had given evidence since Rosmah’s trial started on Feb 5, 2020. Among those who testified against her were Rizal, Saidi, former education minister Mahdzir Khalid, and former education secretaries-general Madinah Mohamad and Alias Ahmad.

The prosecution also offered 10 witnesses, including Najib, to the defence.
