MACC says Najib’s conditional pardon does not alter ongoing 1MDB case status quo

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has stated that former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's conditional pardon does not alter the status of the ongoing 1MDB case. MACC Chief Commissioner Abd Halim Aman emphasized that each case must be handled separately based on its specific issues and investigations, and that the status quo remains unchanged for cases still pending.

The pardon granted to Najib, which allows him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, subject to a RM50 million fine, was approved by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia. The decision was made at the 64th meeting of the Pardons Board for the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, and Putrajaya.
