PUTRAJAYA: Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor (pic) has been arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
According to sources, she was arrested at 3.20pm while giving her statement to the MACC.
It is learnt the wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will be charged for money laundering Thursday (Oct 4).
Earlier, Rosmah arrived at the MACC headquarters at 10.42am on Wednesday (Oct 3).
Clad in a light green baju kurung and matching selendang, Rosmah looked calm as she walked past the media crowd.
She was accompanied by her lawyers Datuk K. Kumaraendran and Datuk Geethan Ram Vincent.
This is her third appointment with the anti-graft officials.
On June 5, she was questioned for about five hours by MACC investigators over a probe into SRC International, a former subsidary of 1MDB.
Exactly a week ago on Sept 26, Rosmah was called in for a second round of questioning – this time on 1MDB – which lasted 13 hours.

She will face charges under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act.
According to The Straits Times, investigators believe funds from the aforementioned subsidiary may have possibly been used to fund the purchase of anti-ageing products from the United States that were hormone-based.
It is estimated to be worth RM$1 million, or S$332,000.
