KUALA LUMPUR: Rosmah Mansor, the former first lady of Malaysia, amassed hundreds of expensive Hermes Birkin handbags and diamond jewellery when her husband Najib Razak was prime minister.

Police found 12,000 individual items of jewellery, 567 luxury handbags, 423 watches and US$26 million in cash at properties linked to the couple after Najib's unexpected defeat in the 2018 elections, when voters showed their disgust over a multi-billion dollar corruption scandal at state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad .

Rosmah described those allegations as character assassination and pleaded not guilty to all charges against her. She went on to tell Najib how to handle aides and foreign officials who were also caught up in the scandal.
