KUCHING, Nov 6: Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has fully paid the RM50 million fine imposed on him in the SRC International Sdn Bhd fund misappropriation case at the High Court Criminal Registry Office here today.
This paves way for the former prime minister to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028.
According to The Edge Malaysia, the fine was paid via a fundraising campaign raised by the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO).
“Umno wishes to announce that the total amount of funds collected through the Najib Razak Solidarity Fund, which was launched on Sept 18 to assist (Najib), has reached its target and is sufficient,” the statement said, confirming that the process had been completed at the Kuala Lumpur High Court today.
