Malaysia's former Prime Minister Najib Razak will serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest after his political party paid a 50 million ringgit ($12.3 million) fine. The payment fulfills a key condition for the royal pardon granted in September. Razak, 73, has been imprisoned since August 2022 following his conviction in a corruption case linked to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal.
