Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has begun serving a 12-year prison sentence after losing his final appeal on charges related to a graft scandal involving state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
Najib, 69, faced seven charges in July 2020 of criminal breach of trust, abuse of power, and money laundering. He was convicted, sentenced to 12 years in prison, and fined 210 million ringgit ($47 million).
