  "account": "Former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak departed Kajang Prison Complex at approximately 2:37pm on November 6, 2026, following a High Court order enabling him to fulfill his remaining sentence under house arrest. His legal representative, Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee, announced post-prison that UMNO had settled Najib's RM50 million fine, thus prompting the court's decision. Farhan affirmed the RM50 million payment to the High Court, but declined further inquiries, heading back to the prison to deliver the court's house arrest order. The former premier was escorted from the facility in a silver Proton X70 SUV, with the vehicle's departure under stringent security measures. It remains unclear as to where Najib is headed, but it is believed he will reside at Jalan Langgak Duta, Kuala Lumpur, to serve the remainder of his sentence. The RM50 million fine, originally imposed for misappropriating RM42 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd, was reduced by the Pardons Board in 2024 from a 12-year sentence to six years, and the fine from RM210 million to RM50 million. Sultan Ibrahim of Malaysia granted Najib a conditional pardon, allowing him to serve the rest of his term under house arrest until August 23, 2028, contingent on fine payment and adherence to additional conditions.",
