Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib said this was because the AGC needed more time to decide because it involves the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN).

“On the last occasion, as I recall, I have confirmed that the matter has reached an agreement. But since the case involves LHDN, we needed more time to conclude the matter,” he said before High Court judge K Muniandy during a case management today.

The representations are to drop her 12 charges involving more than RM7 million, and five other charges of failing to declare her income to LHDN.

They are the third representations that Rosmah has filed. The first and second were submitted on May 3 and Aug 18, 2023, respectively, but they have yet to be decided upon by the AGC.

Rosmah’s lawyer, Joshua Tay, did not raise any objection.

The court fixed Oct 11 for the continuation of the submission to strike out all the charges against Rosmah.

The wife of former prime minister Najib Razak filed the application on Oct 4, 2020.

The trial started on Aug 24, 2023, with two witnesses having testified.

Rosmah, 72, is alleged to have committed the offences at Affin Bank Berhad, Natural Rubber Building branch, on Jalan Ampang between Dec 4, 2013 and June 8, 2017, and at the LHDN office at the government complex on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim here between May 1, 2014 and May 1, 2018.
