KUALA LUMPUR — Datuk Seri Najib Razak arrived at his residence in Jalan Langgak Duta on Wednesday to begin serving his house arrest, marking a significant development in the former prime minister's legal proceedings.
The arrival came after the courts approved his application for house arrest as an alternative to continued imprisonment. Najib, who had been incarcerated at Kajang Prison, was transported to his Kuala Lumpur home where he will remain confined as part of the conditions of his sentence.
The house arrest arrangement permits the 71-year-old to serve the remainder of his custodial sentence from his residence under strict supervision and monitoring protocols. Security arrangements have been put in place to ensure compliance with the court-ordered conditions.
This development follows Najib's legal battle spanning several years related to charges stemming from investigations into state fund management during his tenure as prime minister. The house arrest option has been granted following appeals and representations made through his legal representatives.
