The conditional pardon granted to former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak today only applies to the jail sentence imposed for his SRC International case. Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar (above) said this when contacted by Malaysiakini this afternoon. "Only for SRC (International) case," he said in a brief text message. Earlier today, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar granted Najib a conditional pardon, allowing him to serve the remainder of his jail sentence under house arrest. However, the clemency comes with a caveat: Najib is required to pay a RM50 million fine and comply with all conditions imposed under the pardon. Dusuki's clarification means Najib may have to return to prison as he is still facing several other criminal cases in court. These include a 15-year jail sentence meted out by the Kuala Lumpur High Court last year, which convicted him on 25 charges in a separate 1MDB case. The court also ordered Najib to pay an RM11.38 billion fine. Najib is currently appealing the conviction. The former Pekan MP is currently serving his jail sentence over seven counts of criminal breach of trust, abuse of power, and money laundering involving over RM42 million belonging to SRC International. He was first convicted on all the charges by the High Court in July 2020 following a lengthy trial, receiving a 12-year imprisonment alongside an RM210 million fine. Najib began serving his jail term on Aug 23, 2022, after both the Court of Appeal and Federal Court dismissed his appeals and upheld his conviction. However, on Jan 29, 2024, the Pardons Board halved his 12-year prison sentence to six years and reduced the RM210 million fine to RM50 million. At that time, the board was chaired by then-Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah. The decision brought forward Najib's scheduled release date to Aug 23, 2028, subject to payment of the reduced fine. So he will be going back to jail after the house arrest?? Is Najib pension withdrawn ? The fine was reduced from RM250 million to RM50 million was this fine being paid? NOW the RM50 MILLION caveat amount is to be paid for house arrest . Total amount to be paid SHOULD BE RM100 MILLION. Are you sure you want to delete this comment? This action cannot be undone.
