KUALA LUMPUR - The defence team for Rosmah Mansor, wife of former Malaysia prime minister Najib Razak, will be appealing against her High Court conviction andsaid her lawyers after the sentencing on Thursday.
"The fine and jail sentence imposed have been suspended and our client has been released on bail. She is able to go home and be with her family members," he told reporters after the trial at the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Thursday. Rosmah, whose graft conviction came just over a week after her husband was jailed for corruption, has two higher courts to appeal against the verdict.
"Appeals at the Court of Appeal will be faster than trials at the High Court, as witnesses will no longer be called," he added.
