KUALA LUMPUR, June 10 — The High Court today ordered Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor to pay RM67.4 million — the estimated value of 43 jewellery pieces delivered to her in February 2018 — to their Lebanese owner.

High Court judge Quay Chew Soon granted the suit filed by Global Royalty Trading SAL against her, which sought to recover the 43 jewellery items or their claimed value of US$14.6 million after the items were seized during a police raid at Pavilion Residences in 2018.

Quay said the court found Rosmah liable for the missing jewellery pieces.

"After a full trial, I allowed the plaintiff's claim against the defendant.

"I ordered the defendant to pay the sum of RM67,461,027.37 to the plaintiff within one month from the date hereof," he said when delivering his decision.

Quay said the court also dismissed Rosmah’s claim for indemnity against PDRM, which was brought in as third parties in the proceedings.

Global Royalty filed the suit in 2023, seeking the return of the items or payment for their value after claiming the items were supplied to Rosmah on a consignment basis but were never returned.
