News Official statement In the courts
  • Rosmah Mansor must pay nearly RM67.5 million in damages for lost jewelry, but the payment is deferred to a trust account pending her appeal.
  • The High Court previously ordered Rosmah to pay the sum to Global Royalty Trading SAL, a luxury jewelry wholesaler, after finding her responsible for the loss of 43 items.
  • The payment must be deposited within one month, with the funds held in trust until the full appeal case is decided.

Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor is still obligated to pay nearly RM67.5 million in damages for 43 pieces of lost luxury jewelry, though the payment will be held in a trust account pending the full resolution of her appeal.

The decision came from Judicial Commissioner Marianne Antoinette Ghani during a Zoom proceeding. Rosmah has one month from the date of the ruling to deposit the RM67,461,027.37 into the designated account. This order follows a previous High Court ruling on June 10, where Justice Datuk Quay Chew Soon found Rosmah liable for the loss of the jewelry.

In addition to the damages, the court also ordered Rosmah to pay RM150,000 in costs. This amount is to be paid to Global Royalty Trading SAL, the luxury jewelry wholesaler that owned the items, and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), who were named as a third party in the lawsuit.
