Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak could soon be leaving Kajang Prison to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest after UMNO confirmed the payment of the RM50 million fine required for the arrangement.

This development has a slight twist as his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, said she was unaware of any arrangements to settle the fine and claimed that the family had not been informed either.

According to a report by Harian Metro, Rosmah said she did not know about claims that two representatives of Najib had visited the Kuala Lumpur court complex to make the RM50 million payment.

Speaking to reporters after attending proceedings involving her Sarawak solar hybrid corruption case, she expressed surprise when asked about the alleged payment.
