PUTRAJAYA:
Rosmah Mansor has failed in her final attempt to obtain a retrial in her RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project corruption case by recusing the trial judge who convicted her more than three years ago.
Following the unanimous Federal Court ruling today, Rosmah’s appeal against her 10-year jail term and RM970 million fine will be heard at the Court of Appeal later this year.
Justice Nordin Hassan, who led a three-member bench, said trial judge Justice Zaini Mazlan was not biased and that the allegation against him lacked merit.
“The appellant (Rosmah) failed to show that the trial judge was biased. There was also no miscarriage of justice,” said Nordin, who sat with Justices Che Ruzima Ghazali and Azimah Omar.
