The High Court said the jail terms would run concurrently.

It comes days after her husband began serving a 12-year jail sentence for corruption.

The 70-year-old is known for her love of luxury goods and jewellery. When Malaysian police raided the couple’s properties in 2018, they found a $1.6m gold and diamond necklace, 14 tiaras and 272 Hermes bags.
