The court schedule has been set for Nick Ut's defamation lawsuit in France against Netflix and the VII Foundation over claims made in The Stringer documentary.
KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 — Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor has denied allegations linking her and her family to an alleged US$13 million (RM53 million) property transaction, saying she had lodged a police report and would pursue legal action against those responsible for disseminating the claims online.
In a statement issued today in response to videos circulating on social media, the wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said she had no involvement, either directly or indirectly, in the acquisition, transfer or ownership of any luxury property, including one allegedly valued at US$13 million.
She also rejected claims that she had used shell companies, offshore financial structures or intermediaries to facilitate transactions on behalf of her son-in-law or any other individual.
“The allegations purporting to implicate me in the use of shell companies, offshore financial structures, or associations with any of the individuals or entities named in these videos are wholly without foundation, utterly false, and maliciously fabricated,” the statement said.
Rosmah said the videos had harmed her family’s reputation.
She said a police report had been lodged on June 14 to enable authorities to investigate those responsible for creating and disseminating the material.
Rosmah added that she would cooperate fully with investigators.
She also called on social media platforms to remove the content and prevent its further circulation, arguing that the allegations amounted to defamation and malicious falsehood.
The statement further warned that legal action could be taken against individuals who had published, republished or continued to share the claims online.
“I hereby reserve all rights available to me at law, including the right to institute civil and pursue criminal proceedings against any individual or party who has published, republished, shared, or continues to disseminate these false and injurious allegations,” it said.
Rosmah urged both the public and media organisations to exercise restraint and avoid amplifying unverified information while investigations are ongoing.
The statement did not identify the individuals behind the videos or elaborate on the specific allegations beyond references to an alleged luxury property transaction and purported offshore arrangements.
