Former Malaysian PM Najib faces first corruption trial over state fund

Kuala Lumpur - Former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak on Wednesday arrived at a Kuala Lumpur court to face trial over his alleged involvement in the misappropriation of billions of dollars from the 1Malaysia Development Berhad state fund.

The former premier arrived at the Kuala Lumpur High Court dressed in a dark blue suit and navy tie and was immediately swarmed by the press and his supporters. During his tenure as prime minister and finance minister, Najib oversaw the 1MDB fund, which existed from 2009 until 2016, when it was found to be drowning in around 16 billion dollars' worth of debt.
