The Kuala Lumpur High Court has set June 10, 2026, to deliver its decision in a lawsuit filed by Lebanese jeweller Global Royalty Trading SAL against Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, the wife of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak. The suit concerns 43 pieces of jewellery, valued at US$14.6 million (approximately RM69 million), which the company alleges were not returned.
Global Royalty Trading SAL claims it sent the jewellery items to Rosmah for viewing in 2018. The company is seeking the full value of the items, asserting they were never returned. Rosmah's defense has argued that the items were on consignment and that there was no concluded sale or agreement for her to purchase them.
The case is one of several legal proceedings involving Rosmah Mansor, who was convicted in a separate corruption case in 2022 related to a solar hybrid project for rural schools in Sarawak. Her sentence is currently under appeal.
The upcoming High Court ruling will determine whether Rosmah is liable for the multi-million dollar claim. The decision is highly anticipated, given the high-profile nature of the defendant and the substantial sum involved.
