Now a Malaysian Court is set to deliver a verdict in the corruption trial of former Prime Minister najib razak hes accused of stealing hundreds. Millions of dollars from a Sovereign Wealth Fund is facing several charges including some that carry a possible 20 year prison he denies any wrongdoing but lets take a closer look at the multibillion 1. 01 m d b Corruption Scandal the cases are related to the state Investment Fund which now launched as Prime Minister in 2009 the u. S. Department of justice as 4 and a half 1000000000. 00 from the fund was diverted to offshore Bank Accounts and Shell Companies linked to.
