Najib Razak was sentenced to 15 years in prison for abuse of power and money laundering related to the theft of nearly 2.3 billion Malaysian ringgit from the 1MDB fund. This is his second major conviction over the scandal, after already receiving a six-year sentence in a separate case. The verdict follows seven years of legal hearings and involves serious charges that highlight ongoing issues with corruption in Malaysia. The case has shaken Malaysian politics and continues to affect the country's ruling coalition.
