Rosmah Mansor has claimed trial to a new charge in the bribery case involving a solar hybrid power project in Sarawak.
The wife of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak is accused of receiving RM5 million from Saidi Abang Samsudin, managing director of Jepak Holdings, via her former aide Rizal Mansor.
Jepak Holdings had obtained an RM1.25 billion contract from the Education Ministry through direct negotiation for the project, meant to benefit 369 rural schools in Sarawak.
Rosmah, who was represented by lawyers Akberdin Abd Kadir and Jagjit Singh, claimed trial to the charge under Section 16(a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009.
Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court judge Azura Alwi allowed Rosmah to maintain the RM1 million bail for her two previous bribery charges in connection with the project.
She set May 10 as the date of mention for the latest charge.
Rosmah pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court last November to soliciting RM187.5 million through Rizal, and another for receiving an RM1.5 million bribe in relation to the project.
A month prior, she was slapped with 17 counts of money laundering involving around RM7.1 million under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activites Act 2001.
