Rosmah Mansor, 70, had pleaded not guilty to three counts of bribery and receiving 6.5 million ringgit (£1.3 million) in return for helping a company secure a contract to supply solar power to schools. Supreme Court Judge Mohamed Zeini Mazlan said prosecutors had proven their case beyond reasonable doubt. The judge added that her defense was “blatant denial and unfounded”. Rosmah also faces a 970 million ringgit fine. He can apply for bail while he appeals the decision. Thursday’s verdict comes just over a week since Najib began a 12-year prison sentence for breach of trust, abuse of power and money laundering in a conviction linked to the 1MDB scandal, one of the world’s biggest financial frauds. Najib and Rosmah have faced various charges since he lost the 2018 election amid public anger over massive corruption during his rule. In the wake of their election defeat, the couple tried to leave the country on a private jet, according to a leaked flight manifest at the time. They were banned from traveling by the country’s then leader, Mahathir Mohamad. Police raids on several properties linked to Najib revealed further details of their lavish lifestyle. Police seized hundreds of designer handbags, including 272 Hermès bags estimated to be worth nearly $13 million, as well as 1,400 necklaces, 423 watches, 2,200 rings, 1,600 brooches and 14 tiaras. Rosmah’s corruption case is not related to the 1MDB scandal. Prosecutors had argued that Rosmah influenced government spending, despite having no official position, and helped a company secure a 1.25 billion ringgit contract to supply solar energy panels to schools in Borneo. They accused Rosmah of demanding a bribe of 187.5 million ringgit and receiving 6.5 million ringgit from an employee of the company that won the project in 2016 and 2017. Her former aide, who was jointly charged with Rosmah but later testified for the prosecution, portrayed her as an influential figure who was often pressured by businessmen seeking government contracts. The aide testified that Rosmah was afraid of civil servants and requests from her staff were often carried out quickly. Witnesses said a special department, called the First Lady of Malaysia, was set up to handle Rosmah’s affairs. The court heard she spent 100,000 ringgit a month to hire online propagandists to ward off criticism of her lavish lifestyle, the Associated Press reported.

Rosmah said she was flanked by her former aide as well as government and corporate officials involved in the project.

The prisons department has denied claims that VIP inmates were given more comfortable living arrangements, such as air conditioning and access to television and the internet.

She said on Instagram that she couldn’t face ordering from the chain because she knew her father, who was stuck in jail, would miss his caramel macchiato. Some responded online announcing that they would make sure to buy the drink the next day. Najib faces four other corruption cases. Rosmah also faces 17 counts of money laundering and tax evasion for illegally receiving 7.1 million ringgit between 2013 and 2017 in a separate case linked to 1MDB, although her trial has yet to begin. The 1MDB scandal has led to corruption investigations around the world, including in the US, Singapore and Switzerland.
