Ex-Malaysian PM Najib to serve remaining jail term at home if he pays US$12.26 million fine

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has been granted a conditional pardon by Malaysia’s King, allowing him to serve the rest of his jail term at home if he pays a RM50 million (US$12.26 million) fine. The legal affairs division of the Prime Minister’s Office announced the decision on Friday (Sep 18). Najib, who is in Kajang Prison, is due to complete his sentence on Aug 23, 2028. A partial royal pardon in January 2024 halved his 12-year jail term and reduced his RM210 million fine to RM50 million. #malaysia #malaysianews Read more: https://cna.asia/4y3xeCA Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
