Malaysia’s former leader Najib Razak was hit with 25 charges of corruption and money laundering linked to the 1MDB mega-scandal on Thursday, including allegations that hundreds of millions of dollars were transferred into his personal bank accounts.

Najib pleaded not guilty to all charges after they were read to him in court in Kuala Lumpur.
