Najib's lawyer to meet judge over disputed house arrest order
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s lawyer is scheduled to appear before a High Court judge at 2.30pm today over a disputed order requiring the former prime minister to serve the remainder of his SRC International sentence under house arrest.
KUALA LUMPUR - The lawyer representing former Prime Minister Najib Razak will meet with a High Court judge today, at 2:30pm, to discuss a disputed house arrest order. The case will be heard at Criminal High Court 5, presided over by Judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin. The matter involves Najib's sentence under house arrest, following his conviction for corruption.
Earlier, the Attorney-General's Chambers filed an application to amend the discharge order issued on November 6, requesting a review and a new order that aligns with the conditional pardon granted by Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, on September 18. The Attorney-General, Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar, confirmed the filing when reached for comment.
Upon payment of Umno's RM50 million fine on November 6, the court ordered Najib's immediate release, while mandating him to serve the remaining portion of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028.
