Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng

PUTRAJAYA (AP): Malaysia’s Government will sell much of the huge stash of jewellery and luxury goods, including diamond necklaces, tiaras and designer handbags that were seized in a money-laundering probe of former leader Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng told The Associated Press.  

Police said 12,000 pieces of jewellery, 567 handbags, 423 watches and 234 sunglasses were confiscated last month from properties linked to Najib after the shocking electoral defeat of his long-ruling coalition.
