KUALA LUMPUR—Ten years to the day after he was first sworn in as Malaysia’s prime minister, Najib Razak stood trial on April 3 for corruption charges linked to a multibillion-dollar scandal that brought down his government.
Najib, in dark blue suit and matching tie, sat in the dock for nearly three hours before proceedings were adjourned until April 15, in the first of many trials he faces over graft accusations at state fund 1MDB.
