KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 4, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Rosmah Mansor, the luxury-loving wife
of Malaysia’s former prime minister, was Thursday charged with money
laundering linked to a multi-billion-dollar 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.
