KUALA LUMPUR—Malaysian police said on Wednesday, June 27, they would soon question former prime minister Najib Razak and his wife after finding nearly $275 million worth of jewelry, handbags, watches, and other items at properties linked to the couple.

Authorities are investigating Najib as part of their probe into how billions of dollars went missing from state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), which was founded by the former premier.
