AI Summary:
Najib Razak won an appeal to pursue his bid to serve his remaining corruption sentence under house arrest. In an application in April last year, he said he had clear information that then-King Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah issued an addendum order allowing him to finish his sentence. But the High Court tossed out his bid three months later. Najib was charged and found guilty in a corruption case linked to the looting of state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad. The pardons board didn’t give any reason for its decision and wasn’t required to explain. Investigators allege at least $4.5 billion was stolen from the fund and laundered. More than $700 million landed in his bank accounts.
