The Attorney General’s Chambers has withdrawn its appeal in the money-laundering proceedings involving Rosmah Mansor, bringing an end to years of litigation and marking the conclusion of a closely watched chapter in her legal journey.
The Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) has formally discontinued its appeal in the money-laundering (AMLA) charges involving Rosmah Mansor, according to official filings dated 9 and 11 December 2025. The Notice of Discontinuance, submitted to the Court of Appeal, resulted in the immediate vacating of the scheduled 22 December case management date, and the appeal has now been recorded as concluded under Order 73 of the Rules of the Court of Appeal 1994.
The withdrawal effectively ends the prosecution’s challenge to earlier court developments relating to the AMLA matter. It closes a path that has extended across several years, involving multiple stages of hearings, administrative reviews and legal submissions. With the Notice of Discontinuance accepted by the Court, the case moves from active litigation to formal closure at the appellate level.
Finality After Years of Public Scrutiny
The AMLA proceedings against Rosmah have been among the most closely followed cases in the country, drawing significant public and media attention since the charges were first brought. Over the years, the case navigated a complex sequence of legal steps, including pre-trial applications, interlocutory decisions, and subsequent appellate processes.
The prosecution’s decision to withdraw the appeal now brings a sense of finality. With the withdrawal in effect, all administrative matters tied to the appeal have been settled, and the Court of Appeal has confirmed that the file is now closed.
Rosmah Reserves Response as Proceedings Conclude
Throughout the legal process, Rosmah Mansor has adhered to all court requirements while maintaining a reserved position publicly. Consistent with her approach in recent years, she has not issued any statement regarding the prosecution’s decision to discontinue the appeal.
Understandably for her, the withdrawal marks the end of another long chapter in her legal journey, which has unfolded under extensive national scrutiny. It is surely welcome news indeed, a day after her 74th birthday.
A Case That Shaped Public Discourse
The AMLA proceedings, given their duration and public profile, have formed a notable part of Malaysia’s wider legal and political conversation over the past several years. The legal community would notably describe the appeal’s conclusion as an important procedural milestone, providing closure to a matter that has remained active since a year ago. – NMH
