KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecutor has yet to finalise the 'agreement' with Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor in relation to the latter's 17 money laundering and tax evasion charges involving over RM7 million.
Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib during the management of the case today said both parties need to iron out some details to reach a final conclusion.
"On the last occasion, I did informed that we are in the final decision.
"However, the case involved tax issues and we need to iron out with the Inland Revenue Board.
"That procedure takes time... because of that we have yet to get the final decision," he said before Judge K. Muniandy.
The court then fixed Oct 11 for Rosmah's lawyer Datuk Firoz Hussein Ahmad Jamaluddin to continue his submissions to drop all the charges.
During today's proceedings, Rosmah, represented by lawyer Joshua Tay, was excused from attending.
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.
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 IRB.
She is accused of committing the offences between Dec 4, 2013 and June 8, 2017.
