Datuk Seri Najib Razak's lawyer, Tan Sri Shafee Abdullah, states that a new application for a royal pardon will only be considered after all legal processes concerning a purported 'royal addendum' are completed. Najib is currently appealing a High Court decision to reject his application for leave to initiate a judicial review regarding the alleged addendum, which he claims would allow him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.
KUALA LUMPUR: An application for a fresh royal pardon for Datuk Seri Najib Razak will only be considered after the conclusion of legal proceedings with regard to a purported" royal addendum ", says Tan Sri Shafee Abdullah application.
Najib also requested that if the additional decree existed, the respondents must enforce it and transfer him immediately from Kajang Prison to his residence in Kuala Lumpur to serve the rest of his sentence under house arrest. In July 2020, the High Court sentenced Najib to 12 years in prison with a fine of RM210mil in the SRC International case.
The Court of Appeal in Putrajaya will decide this Monday on Najib's application to appeal the Kuala Lumpur High Court's rejection of his application for a judicial review of a purported royal addendum and royal pardon issue.
