Malaysia’s former Prime Minister Najib Razak will serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest after his political party paid a fine of 50 million ringgit ($12.3 million) on November 6, 2026. Najib has been incarcerated since August 2022 for corruption related to the looting of the state investment fund 1MDB.
