Rosmah Mansor, born on December 10, 1951, is a prominent Malaysian politician known for her role as the second wife of former Prime Minister Najib Razak. Her political journey has been marked by significant events, particularly her involvement in the controversial 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal, commonly referred to as 1MDB.
On September 1, 2022, Rosmah was found guilty of corruption related to a school electricity project, resulting in a hefty fine of three hundred and three million dollars and a ten-year prison sentence. This verdict highlighted the serious allegations surrounding her and her husband's administration.
However, on December 19, 2024, a Malaysian high court acquitted Rosmah of seventeen counts of money laundering and tax evasion, citing insufficient evidence. This turn of events marked a significant moment in her legal battles and public perception.
