Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has arrived at his Langgak Duta residence under Prisons Department escort to serve the remainder of his SRC International Sdn Bhd prison sentence under house arrest.
KUALA LUMPUR: A vehicle carrying former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak arrived at his residence in Langgak Duta here tonight for him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case under house arrest.
The silver Proton X70 was seen arriving at 9.27 pm, accompanied by Prisons Department escort vehicles.
It is understood that the vehicle carrying Najib, 73, left Kajang Prison at 9 pm through a different gate from where members of the media had gathered.
Checks at the scene found that security around the residence had been tightened, with a large police presence and a security tent set up along the access road leading to Najib’s home.
Earlier today, the High Court here ordered the former prime minister to serve the remainder of his six-year prison sentence in the SRC International case under house arrest at his Langgak Duta residence, with immediate effect.
Judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin made the ruling after setting aside an order for Najib’s discharge on payment of a RM50 million fine, issued by the High Court Criminal Registry on Nov 6, and replacing it with a Conditional Pardon Order.
