The Hindu
Despite his graft conviction, Najib (68) remains politically influential and his United Malays National Organization party has rebounded from its 2018 shocking election ouster
Malaysia’s Appeal Court on December 8 upheld the conviction of ex-Prime Minister Najib Razak linked to the massive looting of the 1MDB state investment fund that brought down his government in 2018.
Najib was sentenced to 12 years in jail after a high court ruled in July 2020 that he was guilty of abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering for illegally receiving 42 million ringgit ($9.9 million) from SRC International, a former unit of 1MDB.
The ruling by the three-member appellate bench was delivered via a Zoom hearing after a defense lawyer was suspected to have contracted COVID-19.
