In a high-profile trial in Putrajaya on March 28, 2025, retired police officer R Rajagopal testified that former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak emerged as a suspect in a 2019 criminal breach of trust (CBT) probe tied to the 1MDB scandal. Initially not a suspect in 2015, Najib’s status shifted as evidence linked 1MDB funds—managed by the Minister of Finance Incorporated—to his personal bank account. The testimony came during Najib’s RM2.27 billion abuse of power and money laundering trial. Last year, the Pardons Board reduced his earlier SRC case sentence from 12 years to six, and his fine from RM210 million to RM50 million.
