KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak has not paid the RM50mil fine required for him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest, Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar has confirmed.
As attention focused on the court complex here yesterday amid speculation about whether the fine had been paid, Mohd Dusuki said his office had not been notified by the court.
“As of now, Datuk Seri Najib’s family has not paid the fine. That’s all I know for now,” he said when contacted.
“If the fine is paid, we will be informed because the prosecution is a party to the case. The fine must be paid at the Kuala Lumpur High Court Registry, where the case was heard.”
Najib, 73, has been serving his six-year jail sentence at Kajang Prison since Aug 23, 2022, following his conviction for misappropriating RM42mil belonging to SRC International Sdn Bhd.
Last Friday, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, granted Najib a conditional pardon, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence for the SRC International case under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028.
The arrangement is subject to payment of the RM50mil fine and compliance with other stipulated conditions.
In 2024, the Pardons Board reduced his sentence from 12 years to six years and his fine from RM210mil to RM50mil.
Apart from the SRC International case, Najib still faces other prison sentences and fines as he remains embroiled in multiple legal battles.
In December 2025, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison and fined RM11.38bil after being convicted on four counts of abuse of power and 21 counts of money laundering involving RM2.28bil in 1MDB funds.
Failure to pay the fine could result in an additional 40 years in prison.
He also faces an asset recovery order amounting to RM2.08bil.
The case is currently on appeal.
Additionally, the former prime minister faces a US$1.3bil (RM5.25bil) fine after losing a civil suit filed against him by SRC International in the High Court.
He also faces six counts of criminal breach of trust involving RM6.6bil in government funds paid to International Petroleum Investment Company and a money laundering case involving RM27mil belonging to SRC International.
In addition, Najib faces an outstanding tax bill of RM1.69bil arising from additional income tax assessments and penalties issued by the Inland Revenue Board for the 2011 to 2017 assessment years.
On Sunday, Najib’s lawyers, Shafee & Co, said most of his assets, bank accounts and properties remained subject to freezing orders and government enforcement action.
The firm said the disposal of those assets was not entirely within Najib’s control and that his ability to pay the RM50mil fine therefore depended partly on matters beyond his control.
