Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was found guilty on four counts of abuse of power and 21 counts of money laundering involving approximately 2.2 billion ringgit from the 1Malaysia Development Berhad fund. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison and fined 11.4 billion ringgit.

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was found guilty on four counts of abuse of power and 21 counts of money laundering involving approximately 2.2 billion ringgit from the 1Malaysia Development Berhad fund. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison and fined 11.4 billion ringgit.

Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah, who presided over the trial, stated that evidence revealed an unmistakable bond between Najib and fugitive financier Jho Low, who acted as the former prime minister's proxy and intermediary in 1MDB affairs. The judge rejected Najib's claim that he was misled by Low and other officials.

The judge rejected Najib's claim that he was misled by Low and other officials.

Najib maintained that funds deposited into his accounts were donations from the Saudi royal family, but the judge dismissed letters allegedly from Saudi donors as probable forgeries. The court concluded that evidence pointed unmistakably to the funds originating from 1MDB.

The former prime minister is already serving time at Kajang Prison for a separate conviction involving 42 million ringgit from SRC International, a former 1MDB unit. His sentence in that case was reduced from 12 years to six years by a pardons board in 2024.

Malaysian and U.S. investigators determined that at least 4.5 billion dollars was stolen from 1MDB between 2009 and 2014. The scandal triggered investigations across multiple nations and led to the historic 2018 election defeat of Najib's coalition.

The trial spanned more than seven years and involved testimony from 76 witnesses. Analysts noted the verdict could test Malaysia's judiciary and political stability, as Najib's party remains part of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's current unity government coalition.
