KAJANG: A convoy of five vehicles believed to be carrying former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was seen leaving Kajang Prison at about 2.40pm today.
However, its destination has yet to be confirmed.
Earlier, it was reported that Najib’s lawyers were scheduled to meet a High Court judge this afternoon to discuss a dispute over a discharge order directing the former prime minister to serve the remainder of his prison sentence in the SRC International case under house arrest.
The matter was scheduled for mention before Justice Datuk Aslam Zainuddin at 2.30pm at the Kuala Lumpur High Court Criminal Court 5.
The Attorney-General’s Chambers (A-GC) had earlier filed an application seeking a review of the discharge order dated Nov 6 and a fresh order in line with the conditional pardon granted to Najib by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim, on Sept 18.
Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar reportedly confirmed the filing when contacted.
The order was issued after Umno settled the RM50 million fine imposed on Najib on Nov 6.
It directed Najib’s immediate release but stipulated that he serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028.
