A Malaysian court allowed former Prime Minister Najib Razak to pursue a petition to serve the rest of his jail sentence in his home for crimes related to troubled wealth fund 1MDB.
Najib may resume his bid for house arrest at the High Court, the Court of Appeal ruled on Monday, overturning an earlier decision to reject his petition. The decision by the three-person bench wasn’t unanimous.
