Najib Razak aims to meet release terms and pay fine
The news concerns former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is seeking to be released from prison after a royal pardon was issued, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest at his home. His lawyers stated that he is having difficulty fulfilling the condition of paying a fine of $12 million due to the freezing of his assets and accounts. He was previously convicted of corruption related to the embezzlement of funds linked to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal. The royal pardon came after his continued denial of the offenses and represents the second pardon granted by the king regarding his conviction.
