Geneva : Lawyers for two men accused of embezzling US$1.8bil from the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB began laying out their case Thursday after Swiss state prosecutors sought hefty jail terms.
They are accused of involvement in a vast embezzlement orchestrated by Jho Low, an advisor to former Malaysian prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. The multi-billion-dollar 1MDB financial scandal has led to criminal investigations around the world, including in the United States, Switzerland and Singapore.
Najib was in 2022 sentenced to 12 years in jail in Malaysia for offences linked to the misuse of public money. In February, his sentence was halved to six years.During the Swiss trial on Wednesday, the prosecution requested that assets sequestered by Switzerland be confiscated and returned to 1MDB.
