Bekas perdana menteri mohon tiada waran komital dikeluarkan apabila hukuman penjara 15 tahun bagi kes 1MDB bermula pada 2028.

Najib mohon gantung sabitan 1MDB, penjara dan denda RM11 bilion

Former Prime Minister Najib Razak has appealed to have the hanging of his 15-year prison sentence and the RM11.387 billion fine in the 1MDB case lifted, according to the High Court. Najib's lawyer, Shafee Abdullah, informed the court about the appeal during the management of the case, stating that the accreditation certificate has already been submitted.

The former premier is waiting for the appeal of his hanging sentence in the 1MDB case at the Court of Appeal and has requested no committal order to be issued against him when his 15-year prison term begins in 2028. Deputy Public Prosecutor Mustaffa P Kunyalam informed the court that the prosecution is willing to respond to the appeal.

The court then scheduled October 14 for hearing and ordered all relevant documents to be submitted one day before. Last year, the High Court sentenced Najib to 15 years in prison and a fine of RM11.387 billion after finding him guilty of four charges of misuse of power and 21 charges of fraudulent conversion involving RM2.28 billion from the 1MDB fund, which was included in his personal account at AmBank, between February 2011 and December 2014.

The 15-year prison term was set to start in 2028 after Najib finishes serving six years of imprisonment for the SRC International case.
