Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan dismissed the application by the wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to strike out the notice that was issued under an anti-money laundering law, which she claimed would her a fair trial,The news portal cited Zaini ruling that the prosecution's notice for the asset declaration was not linked to the 17 money-laundering charges against Rosmah.
“The applicant's argument that she would be precluded from the right to a fair trial is therefore speculative and unmeritorious,” the judge was quoted saying. The remaining five money-laundering charges concern Rosmah’s alleged failure to declare the same RM7,097,750 amount to the Inland Revenue Board for five tax assessment years from 2013 to 2017 as required under the Income Tax Act.
