Najib Razak is currently facing three 1MDB-linked trials and the verdict in the first is due to be handed down on Jul 28, 2020. 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 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal.
Najib Razak lost power in the 2018 elections, in large part due to accusations of his involvement in the 1MDB scandal. He was subsequently arrested and hit with dozens of charges over the fraud. He denies any wrongdoing, and his lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah told AFP ahead of the verdict:"I feel good about the defence."Malaysia's former prime minister Najib Razak, seen here in September 2018, is facing four charges of corruption and three of money-laundering in the case.
Najib's scandal-mired party returned to power in March as part of a coalition after a reformist administration collapsed. Low Taek Jho is a key figure in the scandal who has been charged in the US and Malaysia. This file photo shows a boat owned by Low. If he is found guilty and the conviction is upheld, then he would also be barred from political office for several years.
