    Najib’s 1MDB plunder made Attila the Hun ‘look like a choirboy’: Malaysian judge

    A Malaysian judge has stated that the scale of plunder from the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal, involving former Prime Minister Najib Razak, was so immense that it made historical figures like Attila the Hun appear comparatively innocent. The judge, Collin Lawrence Sequerah, detailed this in his 809-page grounds of judgment, issued after convicting Najib on charges related to the sovereign wealth fund. Najib, who served as Prime Minister from 2009 to 2018, is already serving a prison sentence for a separate conviction linked to the same scandal. AI

Prosecutors allege Low, with assistance from former Goldman Sachs bankers, paid substantial bribes to foreign officials, including former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, and pocketed over $1.42 billion himself.
