Najib still to pay RM50m fine needed for house arrest, says AG

The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) has confirmed that former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has not yet paid the RM50 million fine required for his house arrest. The fine was initially imposed on Najib after his conviction for misappropriating funds in 2020. The Attorney-General, Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar, stated that there is currently no specific deadline set for the payment of the fine.

After attending the launch of the MADANI Adopted School Programme at Sekolah Kebangsaan Pasir Hor, Dusuki was questioned about the possibility of Najib having to serve his prison sentence if the fine remains unpaid. He confirmed that this is indeed the case.
