Pengampunan Najib tak ubah status kes 1MDB, kata SPRM

SPRM berkata setiap kes perlu dikendalikan secara berasingan mengikut isu dan siasatan yang terlibat.

Pengampunan Najib tak ubah status kes 1MDB, kata SPRM

Ketua Pesuruhjaya Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM), Abd Halim Aman, stated that the status of the 1MDB case against former Prime Minister Najib Razak remains unchanged despite Najib receiving conditional pardon. Halim emphasized that each case must be handled separately according to the issues and investigations involved.

"For our agency, pending cases will remain as usual. As it is now, the status quo remains," he said during a media briefing. When asked if the conditional pardon given to Najib would affect the 1MDB case and ongoing appeals, Halim clarified that a case cannot be compared to another as each investigation involves different allegations and issues.

"We need to understand that each case is different from the other. It cannot be managed as the same case, as each case is distinct due to the specific investigation, issue raised, or claim," he added. On the previous day, Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim approved a conditional pardon for Najib to serve the remaining prison sentence at home until August 23, 2028, if he pays a fine of RM50 million.

The Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) informed that the decision was made during the 64th session of the Commission of Criminal Pardon for Federal Territory Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, and Putrajaya held at Istana Negara.
