Malaysia's disgraced former PM leaves jail for house arrest after embezzling millions

Najib Razak, Malaysia's former Prime Minister, has transitioned from prison to house arrest following his conviction for embezzlement in connection with the 1MDB scandal. The 1MDB sovereign wealth fund, intended for national development, was implicated in a massive financial fraud amounting to billions of dollars. Najib's conviction led to a prison sentence, which has now been commuted to house arrest. This development marks a significant shift in his legal status, reflecting the ongoing repercussions of the high-profile corruption case.
