Malaysia’s arrested former Prime Minister Najib Razak’s last attempt to challenge the court decision also failed.
According to foreign media, the Malaysian court rejected the request for review of Najib Razak’s sentence.
According to foreign media, the federal judge said that 4 judges out of the 5-member panel voted in favor of rejecting the application.
Najib Razak’s lawyer has said that a judge’s dissenting note is likely to lead to further court action.
According to the news agency, Najib Razak now has the option of seeking a royal pardon against his sentence.
If granted a royal pardon, he could be released without serving 12 years.
It should be noted that the court has sentenced Najib Razak to 12 years in prison for the corruption of billions of dollars in the state fund.
