KUALA LUMPUR – Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s lawyer today expressed his utmost disappointment where his client had to pay nearly RM1 billion after she was found guilty of all three corruption charges related to the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid energy project.

Datuk Jagjit Singh said the defence would appeal against the 10-year jail and RM970 million fine sentences handed down to Rosmah.

"The fine is RM970 million, that is almost one billion ringgit. Could anybody afford that amount?," he told reporters after the trial ended at the Kuala Lumpur Court's Complex, here, today.

The wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was found guilty of three corruption charges related to the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid energy project for 396 rural schools in Sarawak.
