Najib to pay RM50mil fine today for house arrest release
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak is reportedly set to pay the RM50 million fine imposed on him to enable him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.
A source said the fine would be paid by a representative of Najib at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex today.
On Sept 18, the former Pekan member of parliament received a conditional pardon from Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028.
Najib, 73, was sentenced to 12 years in prison and fined RM210 million after being found guilty by the Kuala Lumpur High Court on July 28, 2020, on seven charges involving the misappropriation of RM42 million in funds belonging to SRC International Sdn Bhd.
