In a stunning fall from grace, Malaysia’s former prime minister Najib Razak was charged in court on July 4 as part of an investigation into allegations of extensive corruption and misappropriation at a state fund he founded.
Razak pleaded not guilty to three charges of criminal breach of trust and one count of abuse of power, in relation to a suspicious transaction involving SRC International, a former unit of 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
