KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) – Jailed Malaysian ex-prime minister Najib Razak returned to court on Thursday for a second corruption trial over the pilfering of the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) state fund, two days after he began a 12-year prison term for graft.
Najib, 69, was imprisoned on Tuesday after the country’s top court rejected his final appeal in his first graft case linked to the looting of the 1MDB fund.
His incarceration comes four years after his election ouster over the scandal and was celebrated by many citizens as justice served.
