Kuala Lumpur (TIP): A Malaysian court on September 1 sentenced RosmahMansor, the wife of former Prime Minister NajibRazak, to a decade in prison for seeking and receiving bribes in exchange for government contracts, just days after her husband was jailed for corruption. Rosmah will also have to pay a fine of 970 million ringgit ($216.45 million) over three bribery charges, Kuala Lumpur High Court Judge Mohamed ZainiMazlan said, adding that the prosecution proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt. The judge granted her a stay of sentence, so Rosmah will not go to the jail on Thursday. She can appeal the decision in two higher courts.
