KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court today is expected to hear the 'agreement' between the government and Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor in relation to the latter's 17 money laundering and tax evasion charges.
The proceedings, which will be held before High Court judge K. Muniandy, is expected to start at about 9am.
The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC), on Aug 23, concurred with Rosmah's lawyer Datuk Firoz Hussein Ahmad Jamaluddin that both parties had reached an agreement over the hearing.
This is after the wife of incarcerated former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak sent three representation letters to the AGC in her bid to quash all of the charges.
During the previous hearing, Firoz informed the court that both the prosecution and the defense had reached an agreement, contingent upon the completion and submission of the necessary paperwork.
Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib concurred with the senior lawyer by stating that the prosecution is in the process of finalising the documentation before they can proceed with the court's order.
On Dec 13 last year, Rosmah sent three representation letters seeking to quash her money laundering and tax evasion charges involving over RM7 million.
Representation is usually carried out to apply for a retraction or to lower or lessen the charge brought against an accused.
She had previously submitted two similar applications on May 3 and Aug 18, respectively, which have yet to be decided by the AGC.
Rosmah was charged in the Sessions Court here on Oct 4, 2018, before the case was transferred to the High Court.
She is facing 12 charges of money laundering involving RM7,097,750 and five charges of failing to declare her income to the Internal Revenue Board.
She is accused of committing the offences between Dec 4, 2013 and June 8, 2017.
