Najib may end up serving only eight years, say lawyers


PETALING JAYA: Despite being sentenced to jail for 12 years, former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak may be in prison for a much shorter period, even if he does not get a pardon soon.

He will get an automatic one-third remission, which means he needs to serve only eight years, said legal experts.
