Rosmah Mansor, wife of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, has been heavily involved in multiple scandals and legal proceedings related to corruption and financial misconduct. She was notably implicated in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal, a major political and financial controversy in Malaysia, where allegations suggest that billions of dollars were siphoned from the state fund during Najib’s tenure. Rosmah was found guilty on three charges of soliciting and receiving bribes related to a RM1.25 billion hybrid solar project for rural schools in Sarawak, and was sentenced to 30 years in jail along with a fine of RM970 million (approximately USD 220 million) on September 1, 2022 (channelnewsasia; astroawani). She was also implicated in the broader 1MDB scandal, which involved allegations of channeling over RM 2.67 billion (~USD 700 million) into Najib's personal accounts, leading to multiple investigations and trials (wikipedia; aljazeera). In addition to her conviction in 2022, Rosmah faced charges of money laundering and tax evasion, which she pleaded not guilty to initially. However, on December 19, 2024, a Malaysian high court acquitted her of seventeen counts of money laundering and tax evasion due to insufficient evidence (astroawani; wikipedia). Despite her acquittal on some charges, her legal battles and allegations of corruption have significantly marred her public image and career.
