I Cannot Be Held Responsible For The Missing Jewellery Says Rosmah

“I was not the cause of the loss of the jewellery. I had kept all the jewellery in the same place and they were confiscated and taken by the police. The public know that all my and my family’s property had been seized and confiscated by the authorities. (The Malaysian Reserve) – Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor (picture) stressed that she cannot be held responsible for the missing 43 pieces of jewellery worth millions of ringgit that were sent to her by a wholesale jeweller from Lebanon.
The wife of former Prime Minister (PM) Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Razak said that her statement that the jewellery had been taken by the police or the Malaysian government through legislation was true and meritorious considering that one of the 44 pieces of jewellery had been found in their possession.
“I was not the cause of the loss of the jewellery. I had kept all the jewellery in the same place and they were confiscated and taken by the police. The public know that all my and my family’s property had been seized and confiscated by the authorities.
“Therefore, it is impossible for me to keep the jewellery worth millions of ringgit, and I am also not allowed to leave the country,” she said in her statement of defence filed yesterday through Messrs Reza Rahim & Rajivan.
Global Royalty Trading SAL based in Beirut, as the plaintiff, filed a suit against Rosmah, 71, demanding her to pay US$14.57 million or RM67.46 million, for violating the contract involving 43 pieces of jewellery sent to her five years ago.
Meanwhile, Rosmah as the defendant said the jewellery was sent to her by Global Royalty at the company’s will without her asking for it.
Rosmah stressed that the company wanted publicity and wanted her to be its client because she was the wife of the prime minister of Malaysia at that time.
