Malaysia's former PM Najib on corruption trial

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's disgraced former leader Najib Razak will go on trial on Wednesday (Apr 3) over a multi-billion-dollar financial scandal that contributed to his long-ruling coalition's downfall last year and sent shockwaves around the world.

The 65-year-old will face the first of several trials over his alleged involvement in the looting of sovereign wealth fund 1MDB, a state investment vehicle established to develop the economy of the Southeast Asian nation.
