Datuk Seri Najib Razak most likely could serve the remainder of his prison time under house arrest on the same day he pays the prerequisite RM50mil fine for the SRC International case, says his lawyer.

Earlier, the Kuala Lumpur High Court fixed Oct 14 to hear Najib's application to stay the 15-year prison time and RM11.38bil fine imposed on him in the RM2.28bil 1MDB trial.

00:01The High Court in Kuala Lumpur has fixed October 14th to hear Datuk Seri Najib Razak's application
00:08for a stay of execution of his 15-year jail sentence and 11.4 billion ringgit fine
00:14following his conviction in the one MDB corruption and money laundering case.
00:20The court decided on the date during case management on Friday
00:23after considering that Najib's counsel had filed the certificate of urgency.
00:28The court said the written submissions should be filed before the date.
00:33In December last year, the court meted out the fine and the prison sentence on Najib
00:38who then filed a notice of appeal at the Court of Appeal against the decision.
00:43However, he did not apply for a stay of execution of the verdict.
00:48The prison sentence is to run consecutively,
00:51commencing only after Najib completes his existing six-year term,
00:55which runs until August 2028 for the misappropriation of 42 million ringgit
01:02in the SRC International case.
01:05Last week, Najib was granted a conditional royal pardon
01:09which allows him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest
01:14subject to the payment of a 50 million ringgit fine.
01:18We have told the court that we are not allowed to apply for a stay,
01:22but the development will happen.
01:24We may need to make a request for a stay, like today.
01:29We have to enter the stay because there is a support from Najib Tuan Agong
01:34that makes a guarantee of $1.50 million.
01:37Yang kedua, kalau dia dapat, dia bayar $50 million.
01:40Bagi pendapat kita, dia masih lagi terkongkong dengan penjara
01:45sebab penjara 1MBB akan termasuk.
01:51Kalau SRC habis, 1MBB masuk.
01:53Jadi kita minta stay supaya stay itu ada efek.
02:00Kalau ada stay tapi tak boleh keluar, buat apa?
02:02It depends.
02:03Kalau kita dah siap bersedia,
02:05mumpamanya yang ni 14 bulan kan,
02:08kata kita dapat stay.
02:10Then dapat pula, insyaAllah katakanlah
02:12$50 million tu dapat.
02:13There is a good chance,
02:15either he's released on the same day
02:17or there may be some argument.
02:19Yeah.
02:20Yeah.
02:20Yeah.
02:20Yeah.
02:22Yeah.
02:25Yeah.
