00:04Former Prime Minister Najib can finally go home.
00:07Former Prime Minister Najib Razak, 73, was formally appointed as the King's candidate today.
00:12allow
00:12Conditional amnesty
00:14No need to stay in home prison
00:17Instead, he was allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence at home.
00:22Until August 23, 2028
00:24From August 23, 2022, until today
00:28Najib has actually spent 4 years and 26 days in prison.
00:31That is, 1487 days
00:33Now he is officially bidding farewell to prison.
00:36However, there is a very important condition for Najib to go home.
00:39That means he must first pay the internal fee.
00:41The fine was reduced to RM50 million.
00:44Furthermore, during the stay-at-home period, strict adherence to all regulations set by the Amnesty Office is required.
00:48Item
00:49If violated
00:51They could be arrested and sent back to jail at any time to continue serving their sentence.
00:55The decision to grant Nanaji a conditional amnesty
00:58It was His Highness Ibrahim, the Head of State.
01:00Today, I personally chaired the 64th meeting of the Federal Territory Amnesty Office.
01:06Made
01:06However, this meeting was considered highly unusual.
01:10Because the Amnesty Board just had a meeting last Friday.
01:13Discussions included matters related to the amnesty, including Najib.
01:16But what about at that time?
01:18The authorities have not made a decision.
01:19It was simply announced that the matter would be postponed to the next meeting for further consideration.
01:23I didn't expect that only a week had passed.
01:25Amnesty Office suddenly convened another meeting
01:28Moreover, there is only one agenda item this time.
01:30The discussion was held behind closed doors regarding Najib's pardon application.
01:33However
01:34Najib has been transferred to home confinement.
01:36It's not that everything is fine just because he went home.
01:39This does not mean that starting today...
01:41He can live with his wife Rosmah.
01:43To restore the free life of ordinary people
01:45Although the authorities have not yet announced details regarding home imprisonment.
01:48Specific restrictions and details
01:50But some senior lawyers say...
01:53According to the Prisons Act 1995
01:56The Minister of the Interior may, through the Gazette
01:58Designating any residence or building as a prison
02:02in other words
02:03Although Najib left the family-run prison
02:05But what about legally?
02:06He is still a prisoner serving his sentence.
02:09It's just that I'm serving my sentence in a different place.
02:12Unless you need to appear in court.
02:15Or under special circumstances such as seeking emergency medical care
02:18Or what?
02:18And under special official approval
02:22Or what?
02:22He is absolutely not allowed to step out of the house.
02:26There's another important point...
02:27This also needs to be clarified.
02:29The Attorney General stated
02:30This conditional amnesty
02:32It only targets Najib's involvement
02:34The RM42 million SRC International case
02:38This does not include the later Ima Corporation case.
02:41Najib in the SRC case
02:43Originally
02:44Sentenced to 12 years in prison
02:452024
02:46The special agency reduced the sentence by half to 6 years.
02:49At the same time, a fine of RM210 million was imposed.
02:52Reduced to RM50 million
02:53now
02:54The head of state has again approved Najib's application.
02:56Serving sentences at home
02:58To complete the remainder of his sentence
03:00so what
03:00He served his sentence in the SRC case at home.
03:04Instead of being released along with other cases.
03:07As for the Ima Corporation case...
03:09Najib was convicted by the High Court last December of 25 counts of corruption and money laundering.
03:14All names were established.
03:15Sentenced to 15 years in prison
03:17What about this sentence?
03:18Originally, it was supposed to wait until he completed his sentence in the SRC case.
03:22Only started
03:24And what about Najib now?
03:25An appeal has been filed.
03:26What about the case?
03:27The legal process is still ongoing.
03:29In other words
03:30Today's decision
03:31This does not mean that all of Najib's sentences have been cancelled.
03:34This does not mean that the 15-year sentence in the Ima case will be automatically cancelled.
03:38Najib can go home.
03:40But not completely free yet.
03:42That being said...
03:43Since Najib can be granted home imprisonment
03:45Will this set a precedent?
03:48Other prisoners currently serving their sentences
03:50Could a similar application be submitted?
03:53Some self-application lawyers pointed out
03:55As far as he knows
03:56The Amnesty Board has never allowed prisoners to
03:58Serving sentences at home
04:00Methods to complete the remaining sentence
04:02So what?
04:03This decision
04:04It may lead to more prisoners
04:06Especially crimes involving white-collar workers
04:08People currently serving sentences
04:09Seeking similar arrangements
04:11However, this does not mean
04:13All prisoners from now on
04:14They can all go home the way Najib did.
04:16Because amnesty is a constitutional right.
04:18Powers granted to the head of state
04:20Each application
04:21It still requires a special amnesty process.
04:23And by the relevant authorities
04:25The decision will be made based on the specific circumstances of each case.
