Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak may be released from Kajang Prison as early as next month to serve the remainder of his 15-year sentence for SRC International, his lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah revealed. This would occur if the High Court grants a stay on Najib's 15-year sentence for the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) case on October 14 and if the RM50 million fine, imposed as a condition of his conditional pardon, is paid.
According to Shafee, the exact timing of Najib's return home to serve his sentence under house arrest would depend on the completion of necessary preparations.
