Datuk Seri Najib Razak was found guilty on all four abuse of power charges over the misappropriation of RM2.3 billion in 1MDB funds.
Federal Court judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah, who presided as the High Court judge, delivered the verdicts after ruling that the prosecution had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt.
On the first charge, the former prime minister was found to have used his roles as prime minister, finance minister and chairman of 1MDB’s board of advisers to secure financial benefits totalling RM2.3 billion across four phases of the 1MDB scheme.
The second charge concerned 1MDB’s acquisition of two independent power producers, namely Tanjong Energy Holdings Sdn Bhd and Mastika Lagenda Sdn Bhd.
The third charge involved a 1MDB-Aabar Investment joint venture (ADMIC) intended to develop the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) in Kuala Lumpur.
On the fourth charge, Najib, as prime minister, finance minister and 1MDB board chairman, used his position to secure almost RM50 million by ordering approval for 1MDB Energy loans linked to his direct interests.
Sequerah is now deliberating on Najib’s 21 money laundering charges.
