Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak left his home in Jalan Langgak Duta at about 8.50pm tonight.

He was seen leaving in a Toyota Vellfire, and was accompanied by police outriders and several other vehicles. However, his destination is uncertain.

Najib left five minutes after an entourage of Umno visitors, including president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, departed at about 8.45pm.

Najib was arrested by the MACC yesterday, and was held overnight in lockup at the commission's headquarters. 

He was released this evening after claiming trial to four charges and posting half of the RM1 million bail. Part of his bail agreement was that he would surrender his two passports.

Najib had been slapped with one count of abusing his power as a public servant to receive gratification amounting to RM42 million.

He also faces three counts of criminal breach of trust over the same matter.

For each charge, he can be jailed for up to 20 years.
