KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 – Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has paid the RM50 million fine in the SRC International case.
The payment fulfils one of the conditions of his conditional pardon. His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim granted the pardon on Sept 18, 2026.
Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar confirmed the payment. He said Najib made the payment at the Kuala Lumpur High Court registry.
Najib’s Team Completes Payment Arrangements
Earlier, Najib’s special officer, Ahmad Lutfi Azhar, arrived at the Kuala Lumpur High Court criminal registry at about 11.30am.
He went there to handle the payment arrangements.
Meanwhile, lawyer Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee confirmed that the legal team was finalising the necessary documents.
The RM50 million payment forms part of the conditions attached to Najib’s conditional pardon.
Pardons Board Reduced Najib’s Sentence
The Pardons Board announced a reduction in Najib’s sentence on Jan 29, 2024.
Under the decision, the board reduced his prison term from 12 years to six years. It also lowered his fine from RM210 million to RM50 million.
The decision followed Najib’s conviction in the SRC International case, which involved RM42 million in funds.
Background of the SRC International Case
On July 28, 2020, the Kuala Lumpur High Court found Najib guilty of seven charges involving SRC International funds.
However, Najib challenged the conviction through the courts.
In December 2021, the Court of Appeal upheld the High Court’s decision. Later, on Aug 23, 2022, the Federal Court dismissed his final appeal.
Following the decision, Najib began serving his prison sentence at Kajang Prison on the same day.
In September 2026, he received a conditional pardon. Under the decision, he would serve the remaining part of his sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028.
With the latest payment, Najib has now fulfilled the RM50 million fine condition attached to his pardon.
