Malaysian court orders ex-PM Najib to pay $400 million tax bill

A Malaysian court has ordered former PM Najib Razak to settle 1.69 billion ringgit ($397.41 million) in unpaid taxes over seven years while he was still in office. Tax authorities filed the suit last June to recover unpaid taxes between 2011 and 2017, plus interest. This comes as Najib faces charges of corruption and abuse of power linked to billions of dollars siphoned off from state fund 1MDB.
