Charges for ex-PM wife

ROSMAH Mansor, the luxuryloving wife of Malaysia’s former prime minister, has been charged with money laundering linked to a multi-billiondollar scandal that helped bring down his government.

The 66-year-old pleaded not guilty to 17 charges of money laundering at a court complex where her husband Najib Razak was also making a separate appearance in connection with the alleged plunder of state funds.

Prosecutors sought a 10 million ringgit ($2.4 million) bail and impounded her passport.
