Malaysia's top court refused Friday to review its 2022 decision to uphold former Prime Minister Najib Razak's conviction for graft and 12-year jail sentence, saying he was “the author of his own misfortune.”
A five-member Federal Court bench unanimously rejected his final appeal in August in a case linked to the looting of state investment fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad, sending Najib straight to prison to start serving his sentence. But Najib has sought a review to overturn the decision, saying he has been denied a fair trial.
