The High Court today set May 10 to hear a prosecution application for Rosmah Mansor, the wife of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, to declare her property acquisition in a money-laundering case.

Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan set the date when the case came up for mention before him.

The offences were allegedly committed at Affin Bank Berhad, Bangunan Getah Asli branch, Ground Floor, 148 Jalan Ampang in Kuala Lumpur between Dec 4, 2013, and June 8, 2017, and the Inland Revenue Board, Kompleks Bangunan Kerajaan, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim in Kuala Lumpur between May 1, 2014, and May 1, 2018.

The money-laundering charges were framed under Section 4 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 and punishable under Section 4 of the same law, which provides for imprisonment of up to 15 years and a fine of not less than five times the sum or value of the proceeds of unlawful activity or RM5 million, whichever is higher, if found guilty.
