Malaysia's High Court Reviews and Clears Najib Razak's House Arrest Transfer
Malaysia's attorney general has filed a High Court application to review the order allowing former Prime Minister Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his graft sentence under house arrest, following a royal pardon granted in September. Najib, convicted in the 1MDB scandal, was briefly released after a fine was paid but returned to custody due to the attorney general's legal challenge. The High Court has since cleared the way for Najib's transfer to house arrest at his Kuala Lumpur home until 2028, covering only his reduced six-year sentence from the first trial.
