Ex-Malaysian PM Najib back in court for $500m corruption trial, to appeal for house arrest

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak began his defence today for several counts of abuse of power and money laundering. These differ from the previous corruption charges for which he is currently serving a six-year jail term. What they all have in common is 1MDB — the sovereign wealth fund Najib and his allies are accused of plundering. The latest charges have to do with around $510 million in alleged bribes involving Tanore Finance Corporation, which American authorities said had siphoned funds from 1MDB. Melissa Goh reports.
