Najib arrives at court from Kajang Prison
This is his first appearance since he began serving his jail sentence on Aug 23.
Najib Razak arrived at the Kuala Lumpur court complex this morning for his 1MDB trial at the High Court.
Najib, wearing a dark blue suit, arrived at the complex at 8.26am in a black SUV escorted by police vehicles.
Najib faces four charges of using his position to obtain bribes totalling RM2.3 billion from 1MDB funds and 21 charges of money laundering involving the same amount.
On Tuesday, he was sent to Kajang Prison after the Federal Court upheld his 12-year jail sentence and RM210 million fine for misappropriating RM42 million in SRC International funds.
A five-member bench led by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat dismissed Najib’s appeal to set aside the conviction and sentence imposed by the Kuala Lumpur High Court on July 28, 2020.
Najib on Dec 8, 2021, failed to overturn the ruling after the Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's decision.
