Pending US$12.3 million house arrest fine keeps Malaysia’s Najib in prison

The former prime minister mulls how to pay the penalty as significant part of his assets and bank accounts remain frozen

“Until the fine is paid to the court, our client remains in Kajang Prison. Our client and our legal team are presently studying those terms and their practical implications,” the statement said.

The statement said a significant part of Najib’s assets, bank accounts and properties remained subject to freezing orders and enforcement proceedings by the government.
