AGC to explain Najib's house arrest complications to Agong
- Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar requested an audience with His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim to discuss Datuk Seri Najib Razak's house arrest, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim confirmed today.
- Authorities aborted Najib's transfer from Kajang Prison to his residence yesterday after the Attorney General's Chambers intervened, citing legal uncertainty over how the conditional pardon interacts with his separate 1MDB conviction.
- Lawyers from Messrs Shafee & Co demanded immediate transfer, arguing the King's decree cannot be overridden by court orders. The AGC countered that "both possibilities carry different legal implications," requiring judicial clarification.
- His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim warned today that disputing the conditional pardon order could amount to defying the royal decree, as Anwar confirmed the Attorney General will explain legal constraints regarding the 1MDB case to the palace.
- The legal uncertainty centers on whether the RM50 million fine payment fully resolved the SRC International sentence, which determines when Najib's 15-year jail term for the 1MDB case begins. Courts must now decide this timeline.
