Najib Razak conducted ‘elaborate charade’ to steal from state fund, trial hears
Malaysia’s former prime minister Najib Razak abused his power to steal billions from the state to “enrich himself” and then conducted an elaborate charade to cover his tracks, prosecutors in Kuala Lumpur have said.
The first day of the trial of Najib over his alleged involvement in a vast corruption scandal opened on Wednesday, after months of delays, with a blistering summary of his alleged crimes by the chief prosecutor, Gopal Sri Ram.
