Big in Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak was
sentenced to 12 years in jail and fined RM210 million (US$49.38
million) on Tuesday (Jul 28), following a guilty verdict in his first
corruption trial involving millions of ringgit linked to state fund
1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
The charges include abuse of power, money laundering and criminal breach of trust.
High Court judge Mohamad Nazlan Mohamad Ghazali said when reading the
judgment: “I find that the prosecution has successfully proven its case
beyond a reasonable doubt. I therefore find the accused guilty and
convict the accused on all seven charges."
