Najib turns to Court of Appeals in house arrest bid

PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has filed an appeal to the Court of Appeal against the dismissal of his application for leave to commence judicial review to challenge the existence of an addendum purportedly issued by the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong that would allow him to serve the remainder of his jail sentence under house arrest.

When contacted, Najib’s lawyer Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee told Bernama the notice of appeal was filed on July 9.
