KUALA LUMPUR: Embezzlement and bribery with government money are among the charges that Malaysia is looking to bring against former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak following a probe into funds allegedly looted from the state-run fund 1MDB, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said on Tuesday.  

The Prime Minister told Reuters in an interview that Malaysian investigators already “have an almost perfect case” against the principal suspects who had defrauded 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and misappropriated billions of dollars in public funds.
