KUALA LUMPUR: Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor has given an undertaking to the High Court not to dispose or sell her designer handbags, jewellery and other luxury items disputed in a US$346mil lawsuit filed by 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) against her. The undertaking was made through her lawyers, Reza Rahim and Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, in a Zoom proceeding relating to an application for a Mareva injunction before Judicial Commissioner Adlin Abdul Majid here on Friday (June 14). A Mareva injunction is a temporary order which restrains the defendant from disposing of assets until the determination of the case between the plaintiff and the defendant.
The court recorded the Mareva injunction after 1MDB, which was represented by lawyer Datuk Lim Chee Wee, agreed to the undertaking. The case is fixed for case management on July 4. Earlier, 1MDB applied to freeze 11,991 pieces of jewellery, more than 400 luxury handbags and more than 300 watches that were said to be in Rosmah's control.
Some of the items on the list are a yellow diamond necklace (US$1.77mil), pink diamond bracelet (US$1.2mil) and a butterfly-shaped diamond ring (US$1.
05mil). Also listed were two Hermes handbags; Hermes Rose Amethyste Croco Horse Shoe Special Order (US$130,000) and Hermes White with Gray Croco Skin (RM2mil) and a Cecil Purnell Ti watch (RM1mil). All of the disputed assets said to be under the possession and control of Rosmah were listed in a 612-page appendix.
