The 1MDB saga, which saw billions of government funds embezzled during former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak’s governance, came to an end with the High Court verdict on Friday that convicted him of all four power abuse and 21 money laundering charges.

Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah had sentenced Najib, following his conviction, to 15 years in jail and an RM11.38 billion fine for his power abuse charges, as well as five years' jail for each of his money laundering charges.
