1MDB scandal: Malaysia's jailed former PM Najib Razak to stand second trial, court rules | The World

Malaysia's High Court has ordered the imprisoned former Prime Minister Najib Razak to enter a defence in his second corruption trial, over the multibillion-dollar looting of a state investment fund. The former leader set up the 1MDB state fund shortly after taking power in 2009 to promote economic development, but the fund amassed billions in debt. Ibrahim Suffian from the Merdeka Centre says the new trial begins in December but may take years to finish. #abctheworld #abcasiapacific
