KUALA LUMPUR - A Malaysian court will hand down its verdict in Najib Razak's first corruption trial on Tuesday , nearly 16 months after it began probing the former prime minister's role in the multi-billion-dollar 1MDB scandal.
Anger at the looting played a large part in the shock loss by Najib's coalition in elections two years ago after six decades in power.Najib is currently facing three separate, 1MDB-linked trials, and the first finally reaches its climax this week in the Kuala Lumpur High Court. The ex-leader, who is facing four charges of corruption and three of money-laundering in the case, insists he was ignorant of the bank transfers.
Since then, 1MDB-linked charges were unexpectedly dropped against the ex-leader's stepson Riza Aziz, one of the"Wolf of Wall Street" producers, in exchange for him agreeing to return assets to Malaysia.
