PUTRAJAYA, Sept 17 — Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor has once again failed in her bid to have the judge in her RM1.25 billion solar hybrid graft trial removed.
The Court of Appeal dismissed her application, ruling that her allegation of bias against High Court judge Justice Zaini Mazlan was unfounded, according to Free Malaysia Today.
“The appellant (Rosmah) also failed to establish that the trial judge was biased,” Justice Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim said on behalf of the three-member panel, which also included Justices Azman Abdullah and Noorin Badaruddin. The decision was unanimous.
Rosmah, the wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, was convicted in September 2022 of soliciting and receiving RM194 million in bribes related to the solar hybrid project. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined RM970 million.
She may still mount a final appeal against today’s ruling at the Federal Court.
