💨 Abstract

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was convicted on charges of abuse of power and money laundering related to the 1MDB scandal, involving at least $4.5 billion embezzled from a state fund. Najib faces up to 20 years in jail per charge and significant fines. The verdict could strain Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's governing alliance, which includes Najib's former party, UMNO.
