Mahkamah keluar perintah tahanan rumah terhadap Najib, kata peguam

The High Court has issued a house arrest order for former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, according to his lawyer. The Peguam Najib, Farhan Shafee, stated that Umno has paid the RM50 million fine to the High Court. Following this, the court has granted Najib's house arrest, which he has accepted. There are still some pending processes to be completed, so he declined to answer any questions at the moment.

Najib is currently traveling to Kajang Prison to hand over the order. He was imprisoned in August 2022 after the Federal Court upheld its verdict on charges of abusing power, criminal breach of trust, and conversion of unlawful funds involving RM42 million from SRC International. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison and a fine of RM210 million.

In January 2024, royal pardon reduced his imprisonment term by half and the fine to RM50 million. In September 2023, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim gave another conditional pardon to Najib, allowing him to serve the remaining part of his sentence under house arrest until 23 August 2028, provided he pays the RM50 million fine and complies with other conditions. His release is subject to his payment of the fine and adherence to the conditions.
