Najib may walk out of prison before 2028, say lawyers


PETALING JAYA: The possibility of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak leaving prison in 2025 to spend the remaining sentence under home detention looms as he is eligible to apply for parole next year based on his revised prison term, says lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla.

“The decision by the Pardons Board to commute Najib’s jail term from 12 years to six - to be released on Aug 23, 2028 - and reduce his current fine of RM210mil to RM50mil is the complete prerogative of the King.
