Najib, son win appeal to stay bankruptcy proceedings over RM1.7b unpaid tax
PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his son Datuk Nazifuddin have succeeded in their appeals to stay bankruptcy proceedings over RM1.7 billion in unpaid taxes.
Najib Razak and his son Nazifuddin have won an appeal to stay bankruptcy proceedings over RM1.7 billion in unpaid taxes, according to a New Straits Times report. The Court of Appeal unanimously ruled that the issues raised before the Special Commissioners of Income Tax were serious enough to warrant a stay, overturning the High Court's decision from November 17, 2025, which had dismissed their applications for a stay.
The High Court had previously ordered Najib and Nazifuddin to pay RM1.69 billion and RM37.6 million in unpaid taxes, respectively, for assessment years between 2011 and 2017.
