Malaysia ex-PM Najib’s 1MDB trial postponed
A Malaysian court yesterday postponed for a week the biggest of five trials linked to a multi-billion-dollar scam at state fund 1MDB and allegedly involving former prime minister Najib Razak. Najib, who lost a general election last year, has been hit with 42 criminal charges of graft and money laundering at 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and other state entities. He has pleaded not guilty and says the charges are politically motivated. The hearing will now begin next Monday.
