Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak will serve his 12 years jail sentence and pay his RM210 million ($65.3 million) fine from Tuesday.

This follows a five-member Federal Court bench led by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat dismissing the Pekan MP's final appeal against his SRC International Sdn Bhd conviction.

She said the SRC case was a straightforward one involving abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering.

She added that the findings of the High Court judge are sound while the Court of Appeal's decision to uphold the lower court's guilty verdict was also correct.
