Malaysian judge orders former PM Najib Razak to enter a defence at his first trial linked to the multibillion-dollar embezzlement at the 1MDB state investment fund
Former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak, second from left, leaves Kuala Lumpur High Court in Kuala Lumpur, Monday, November 11, 2019.
His wife, several officials from his government, and the US bank Goldman Sachs also face charges related to the scandal. The patrician former leader, whose father and uncles were the country's second and third prime ministers respectively, could face years in office if convicted. Najib, 66, denies any wrongdoing and accuses Malaysia's new government of seeking political vengeance.
Truckloads of luggage stashed with cash, jewellery and hundreds of expensive designer bags worth a staggering $265 million were seized from Najib's and his wife's home and other properties.
