- 4 years ago
A Malaysian court has found former Prime Minister Najib Razak guilty.
The verdict came in on Tuesday in Najib's first corruption trial over the multibillion-dollar looting of the 1MDB investment fund.
According to Newser, the ruling came five months after a new government took power with Najib’s Malay party.
Judge Mohamad Nazlan Ghazali said; “I find the accused guilty and convict the accused of all seven charges".
67-year-old Najib has promised to appeal, saying he was misled by rogue bankers and the case against him is political.
