KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): A Lebanese jewellery firm, which filed an RM60mil suit against former prime minister's wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor over 44 pieces of jewellery, claims that not all jewellery pieces are in the custody of the authorities. Global Royalty Trading SAL filed the suit against Rosmah on June 26 last year seeking the return of the 44 pieces of jewellery sent to her for selection or, alternatively, that she pay US$14.79mil (almost RM60mil). "I can't say how many pieces there are because we have not filed the necessary documents," he said when asked how many pieces were in custody. Last Feb 14, the High Court ordered Rosmah to check and confirm in seven days the existence of the 44 pieces of jewellery that were in her possession before seizure by the police. Global Royalty is seeking the court´s declaration that the firm was the owner of the 44 pieces of jewellery, apart from an order that ownership of the jewellery was not transferred to the defendant.
