Najib’s Son Grateful as Father Finally ‘Returns’ to Langgak Duta for House Arrest

PETALING JAYA: The family of Datuk Seri Najib Razak has expressed gratitude after the former Prime Minister was finally allowed to return to his residence in Langgak Duta to serve his sentence under house arrest following numerous challenges.

Najib’s son, Datuk Mohd Nazifuddin, said his family was delighted that today’s decision was in his father’s favour, allowing Najib to begin serving his sentence under house arrest with immediate effect.

“Alhamdulillah, we are grateful that daddy (Najib) can finally return to Langgak Duta to serve his sentence under house arrest.

“Despite the many challenges, daddy can finally serve his sentence under house arrest,” he told Utusan Malaysia here today.

Earlier, the media reported that Najib would be transferred from Kajang Prison to his residence in Taman Duta here today, with immediate effect.

The move will allow the former Prime Minister to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest following his conviction for misappropriating funds belonging to SRC International Sdn Bhd.

High Court Judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin set aside the discharge order dated November 6, which was issued following the payment of the RM50 million fine.

“It is replaced with a conditional order requiring the accused to serve his prison sentence under house arrest,” he said.
