KUALA LUMPUR: Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s defence team and the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) have reached an agreement on the representation she sent to quash 17 money laundering and tax evasion charges, the High Court here was told.
Lawyer Datuk Firoz Hussein Ahmad Jamaluddin, representing Rosmah, told Justice K. Muniandy that as part of the process, paperwork needed to be finalised.
DPP Ahmad Akram Gharib confirmed that the representation had reached its final stages of resolution.

“It’s just a matter of (finalising) documentation before we can proceed with the order from the court,” he said here on Friday (Aug 23).
In light of the latest development, the court did not proceed with resuming submissions in Rosmah’s criminal application to quash the charges on the grounds that they were baseless.
The submissions were initially scheduled to continue on Friday.
Justice Muniandy then fixed Sept 6 for parties to update the court.
This was Rosmah’s third representation sent to the AGC, on Dec 13.
She had first sent in a representation on May 3 and a second on Aug 18 last year.
