KUALA LUMPUR -- Former Prime Minister Najib Razak began his final appeal to overturn a 12-year prison sentence in the country's supreme court on Monday for allegedly misappropriating 42 million ringgit ($9.4 million) from SRC International -- a former subsidiary of failed sovereign wealth fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
A five-member bench, chaired by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, started to hear Najib's appeal in the Federal Court, the highest court in the country, in Putrajaya.
