KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak was acquitted by the High Court of a power abuse charge over the tampering of the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) audit report after the High Court found no causal link between the amendments he had ordered and the alleged gratification.
The former prime minister’s co-accused, former 1MDB CEO Arul Kanda Kandasamy, also walked away a free man after he was acquitted of an abetment charge.
