Malaysia’s ex–PM Najib sent to prison as final 1MDB appeal lost
Federal court upholds conviction and 12-year sentence linked to fraud, saying appeal ‘devoid of any merits’
Malaysia’s former prime minister Najib Razak has been ordered to begin a 12-year prison sentence after he lost his final appeal against a conviction linked to the multibillion-dollar 1MDB scandal, one of the world’s biggest financial frauds.
A five-member federal court panel said it unanimously found that Najib’s appeal was “devoid of any merits”, seemingly sealing the stunning downfall of the 69-year-old, who has become Malaysia’s first former PM to be jailed.
