  • Malaysia's law ministry announced that it has no record of any documents permitting former Prime Minister Najib Razak's house arrest.
  • Najib is serving a 12-year sentence for his involvement in a fraud scandal related to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
  • His sentence was previously reduced by the former king, who allegedly also granted house arrest through an “addendum order”.
  • The law ministry confirmed it has not received any official notifications regarding this supposed order from the royal palace.
  • Najib has initiated a legal challenge to confirm the existence of this royal document, which a court initially dismissed but was later overturned.
