Malaysian ex-Prime Minister Najib Razak has begun a 12-year prison sentence after losing his final appeal in a corruption case linked to the looting of the 1MDB state fund, with the country’s top court unanimously upholding his conviction and sentence.
Najib became Malaysia’s first former leader to be imprisoned when he was whisked away on Tuesday to the Kajang prison on the outskirts of the capital Kuala Lumpur after the verdict.
