Najib Razak, fostul premier al Malaeziei, trece în arest la domiciliu

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, convicted in the 1MDB corruption scandal, has been granted conditional release to serve his sentence at home. The Malaysian King, Sultan Ibrahim, approved this after Najib's repeated pleas for clemency. He will serve the remaining six years of his sentence until August 23, 2028, but must pay a fine of 50 million Malaysian ringgit, approximately 10.7 million euros. Najib, 73, is currently serving a six-year sentence for his involvement in one of Malaysia's largest corruption cases. His previous 12-year sentence was reduced in 2024, and he faces additional charges related to the misappropriation of nearly $569 million from 1MDB. The implications of this royal pardon raise questions about legal equality in Malaysia.
