KUALA LUMPUR: The corruption trial involving Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor got off to a fiery start with her lawyer accusing the prosecution of character assassinating his client even before any evidence had been presented against her. “I wish to object to some of the terms they have used in the opening statement against Rosmah. Earlier, Sri Ram started his case by stating that Rosmah was the wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. "Later, Saidi delivered RM1.5 million in cash to the accused at her Langgak Duta home on September 7 2017," he said. He said Rosmah used Rizal to make her demands and to negotiate the bribe that was to be paid to her.
