Malaysian Court Denies Najib Razak House Arrest

News summary

A Malaysian court has dismissed former Prime Minister Najib Razak's request to serve the remainder of his corruption sentence under house arrest, rejecting claims of a royal addendum reducing his jail time and fine. Najib accused high-ranking officials of concealing the alleged order, sparking controversy. The court ruled that the government had no legal obligation to verify the addendum's existence, leading to plans for an appeal by Najib's counsel. Despite the setback, Najib intends to pursue legal avenues to challenge the decision and seek house arrest. This legal battle comes amidst Najib's conviction in the 1MDB corruption scandal, with the court upholding his 12-year sentence until August 2028.
