Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has been convicted of abuse of power and money laundering charges in his second major trial related to the 1MDB scandal. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison and fined billions of ringgit, with the new sentence to run concurrently with his existing term. Najib denies wrongdoing, claiming he was misled and that funds were political donations, but the court found evidence of his abuse of power and connection to fugitive financier Jho Low. This verdict could have political repercussions for the current government.
