Najib’s bank accounts frozen, cannot afford RM50m fine, says lawyer

Najib Razak cannot afford the RM50 million fine needed to serve his prison sentence under house arrest, as his bank accounts are frozen.

Najib's legal team has not received the official letter detailing the terms of his conditional pardon from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

The delay in receiving the pardon's official document is hindering Najib's legal team's ability to plan their next steps.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak cannot afford the RM50 million fine imposed as a condition for him to serve the remainder of his SRC International prison sentence under house arrest, his lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said today.

Shafee said Najib did not have the financial means to settle the fine and that his bank accounts had been frozen, including an Affin Bank account he had previously used to receive his salary as prime minister and Member of Parliament, Berita Harian reported today.

“As of today, Datuk Seri Najib himself cannot afford to pay it. He cannot afford to pay it,” Shafee told reporters after court proceedings involving Najib.

He also said Najib had never sought public donations to help settle the RM50 million fine.

Shafee said Najib was in a difficult position as he was required to pay the fine as one of the conditions of his pardon but did not have the means to do so.

“He is in a dilemma because he is supposed to pay it, but he does not have the money,” he said, adding that he did not know how much had been raised in contributions.

Separately, Shafee said Najib had yet to receive the official letter on the conditional pardon granted by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, which allows him to serve the remainder of his SRC International sentence under house arrest.

He said the legal team had also not received the document setting out the conditions of the pardon.

“The Yang di-Pertuan Agong has made the decision under his prerogative, but the most important person is Datuk Seri Najib because he is the one who was sentenced to prison and house arrest, yet until today he has not received the letter.

“We do not know why the letter is taking so long. Even the Prisons Department has not received it,” he said, noting that today marked the eighth day since Najib was granted the conditional pardon.

Shafee said the delay was affecting the legal team’s next steps because they did not know the full conditions contained in the official document.

“Eight days. It is strange. This delay is affecting the legal team’s next course of action because we do not know the full conditions contained in the official document,” he said.

纳吉布·拉扎克无力支付因居家监禁而需缴纳的5000万令吉罚款，因为他的银行账户已被冻结。

纳吉的法律团队尚未收到最高元首正式颁布的、详细说明其有条件赦免条款的信函。

赦免令正式文件的延迟送达，阻碍了纳吉布的法律团队制定下一步计划的能力。

吉隆坡，9月25日讯——前首相拿督斯里纳吉·拉扎克的律师丹斯里穆罕默德·沙菲·阿卜杜拉今天表示，纳吉无力支付5000万令吉的罚款，这笔罚款是他居家监禁服完SRC国际监狱剩余刑期的条件之一。

据《每日新闻》今日报道，沙菲表示，纳吉布没有经济能力支付罚款，他的银行账户已被冻结，其中包括他之前用来领取总理和国会议员薪水的艾芬银行账户。

“截至今日，拿督斯里纳吉本人根本无力支付这笔款项。他真的无力支付。”沙菲在涉及纳吉的庭审结束后告诉记者。

他还表示，纳吉布从未寻求公众捐款来帮助支付5000万令吉的罚款。

沙菲表示，纳吉布处境艰难，因为作为赦免条件之一，他必须缴纳罚款，但他没有能力这样做。

“他现在处境艰难，因为他应该支付这笔钱，但他没有钱，”他说，并补充说他不知道已经筹集了多少捐款。

沙菲还表示，纳吉布尚未收到最高元首授予他的有条件赦免的正式信函，该赦免允许他以居家监禁的方式服完 SRC 国际公司剩余的刑期。

他说，法律团队也尚未收到列明赦免条件的正式文件。

“最高元首已根据其特权做出决定，但最重要的人是拿督斯里纳吉，因为他被判处监禁和软禁，然而直到今天他还没有收到这封信。”

“我们不知道为什么这封信迟迟没有送达。就连监狱部门都还没有收到，”他说道，并指出今天是纳吉布获得有条件赦免的第八天。

沙菲表示，由于法律团队不了解官方文件中包含的全部条款，因此延误影响了他们的下一步行动。

“八天了。这很奇怪。这种延误影响了法律团队下一步的行动，因为我们还不清楚正式文件中包含的全部条款，”他说。
