The judge presiding over the 1MDB scandal case has determined that former Prime Minister Najib Razak failed to display any signs of remorse and repeatedly attempted to transfer culpability to others during his trial.

According to the court's assessment, Najib exploited the considerable authority vested in his position as Prime Minister to facilitate what has been characterized as one of the world's most significant instances of financial corruption and laundering of proceeds.

The judicial finding highlights the extent to which the defendant leveraged his governmental role and influence to advance the scheme. The court's conclusion underscores the gravity of the misuse of public office for personal enrichment.

Throughout the proceedings, Najib's responses to accusations centered on deflecting responsibility rather than acknowledging any involvement or wrongdoing in the multibillion-dollar affair that shook Malaysia's financial sector and international markets.
