KUALA LUMPUR: Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor spent over three hours having her statement recorded by the Anti Money Laundering and Anti-terrorism Financing Prevention Unit (Amla) at its headquarters in Menara KPJ, Jalan Tun Razak, here today.
It is learnt she was called in over jewellery which had been seized from six premises linked to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in May.
Najib’s wife was seen leaving the building about 1.30pm after finishing her session with the unit which is investigating the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal.
Rosmah arrived at the AMLA headquarters about 9.30am.
On Oct 5, Rosmah had claimed trial to a total of 17 charges of money laundering and failing to declare income amounting to RM14 million.
The 17 charges were framed under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
On Oct 26, Rosmah and two of her children – Riza Aziz and Mohd Norashman Najib – also spent several hours at the AMLA headquarters to have their statements recorded as part of an investigation into the 1MDB scandal.
On Nov 16, Rosmah was hauled to court for the second time and slapped with graft charges involving RM187.5mil relating to projects to provide electricity to schools in Sarawak.
She was accused of soliciting for herself a RM187.5mil bribe from Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd managing director Saidi Abang Samsudin, through her aide Datuk Rizal Mansor.
The money was a reward for helping Jepak Holdings obtain a project, through direct negotiations with the Education Ministry, for installing solar hybrid systems and for the maintenance and operation of diesel generators for 369 rural schools in Sarawak.
The project was valued at RM1.25bil and RM187.5mil is 15% of that amount.
She was also accused of receiving RM1.5mil from Saidi as a reward for assisting Jepak Holdings in obtaining the same project.
