Malaysia 1MDB scandal: former PM Najib Razak faces three more money-laundering charges
Malaysian prosecutors on Monday charged former prime minister Najib Razak with three more counts of money laundering, allegedly receiving the proceeds of illegal activities in his personal bank accounts.
Najib has been slapped with a series of corruption charges, mostly tied to losses at now-defunct state fund 1MDB.
The latest charges bring the total number against him to 42.
Najib has pleaded not guilty to all the charges and has consistently denied wrongdoing.
The first of his four trials starts on February 12.
