Najib expects more ‘conducive atmosphere’ for 1MDB trial Read more:
Najib was voted out in 2018 amid anger over corruption in Malaysia, but the alliance that toppled him fell apart at the weekend amid turmoil following the resignation of 94-year-old Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.Dr Mahathir has accused Najib's Umno party of engineering a return to power so that its officials escape conviction in the 1MDB scandal.
“I’m not alluding to anything, because there's no conclusion to the trial... But hopefully, you know, I will get a fair trial, ” he said.Najib is facing five trials over the 1MDB scandal that stretched from Malaysia to the Middle East to Hollywood.The US Department of Justice estimates US$4.5bil was misappropriated from the 1MDB sovereign fund between 2009 and 2014.
Malaysia has also accused Goldman Sachs of misleading investors over bond sales totalling US$6.5bil that the bank helped raise for 1MDB. Three units of the bank have pleaded not guilty. “I hope it’s water under the bridge, ” he said, citing the example of the alliance between Dr Mahathir and his old rival Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, which won the 2018 election.
