KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak arrived at the Kuala Lumpur courthouse to face corruption charges two months after his electoral defeat.
SRC International, a former unit of the 1MDB state investment fund whose US partners claimed to have been looted by Najib associates, accused anti-corruption officials of transferring 10.4 million $ 42 million ringgits on his bank accounts. The Bernama news agency said that Najib could be accused Wednesday of more than 10 counts of criminal breach of trust, which incurs a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment.
Najib, 64, denied any reprehensible act of revenge. "/ kga
