Former Malaysian PM Najib Razak faces new corruption charges, seeks house arrest amid ongoing fraud case.

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, serving a six-year sentence for corruption involving the 1MDB fund, will defend himself against new graft charges this week. He faces four counts of abuse of power and 21 of money laundering, linked to over $500 million in alleged bribes. Najib's legal team will also argue for house arrest for the remainder of his sentence, citing a disputed order from the former king. If convicted, he could face additional fines and prison time.
