Malaysian King places Najib under house arrest

The King of Malaysia, Sultan Ibrahim Ismail bin Sultan Iskander, approved allowing former Prime Minister Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, after being granted a conditional pardon contingent upon paying a fine of 50 million ringgit (approximately $12.3 million). Najib, 73 years old, who served as Prime Minister from 2009 to 2018, was convicted in a corruption case linked to the embezzlement of billions of dollars from the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund. It was stated that the fine and pardon come after reductions in his sentence and fines in previous years, despite his denial of the charges and claims that he was a scapegoat. The date of his release from prison has not yet been determined.
