defence in her corruption case pertaining to the solar energy project for 369 rural schools in Sarawak is a bare denial and failed to rebut the presumption of corrupt intention, said the prosecution.
“Rosmah’s witness statement and her evidence during re-examination comprised of a virulent and scathing attack on the counsel leading the prosecution and upon the foregoing witnesses,” the prosecution said in its written submission filed at the High Court here on March 4. “Given the accused’s pre-eminence and given the fact that in her own words she was ‘sleeping with the PM’, it is highly improbable that Rizal made the demand for himself. The accused also suggests that Rizal used her name to solicit the bribe. The fact that the accused used Rizal to solicit the bribe is consistent with her modus operandi,“ it said.
“And the point is brought home to finality by the evidence of the manner in which the RM1.5 million was collected from the bank and delivered to the accused. What transpired upon that occasion as described by Saidi puts paid to any suggestion that he cooked up a story to implicate the accused,” the prosecution said, adding that it has proved the charge of solicitation beyond a reasonable doubt.
