KUALA LUMPUR: Mahkamah Rayuan Malaysia pada Isnin (6 Jan) meluluskan rayuan oleh mantan Perdana Menteri Najib Razak untuk memperolehi dokumen yang menurutnya, membolehkan beliau untuk menjalani baki hukuman penjara di rumah. Encik Najib yang dihukum penjara berhubung skandal 1MDB, mengemukakan rayuan terhadap keputusan mahkamah pada Julai lalu, yang menolak tuntutannya untuk mengesahkan kewujudan dan melaksanakan titah diraja, yang dia katakan membenarkannya menjalani baki hukuman penjara enam tahun di bawah tahanan rumah. Dia menegaskan 'titah adendum' daripada bekas Yang di-Pertuan Agong ke-16, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah yang mengiringi keputusan lembaga pengampunan pada Februari tahun lalu untuk mengurangkan separuh hukuman penjara bagi kesalahan rasuah dalam skandal 1MDB kepada enam tahun daripada 12 tahun. Namun tidak jelas sama ada dokumen itu wujud.
