Former Malaysian PM found guilty of corruption charges
Former Malaysian PM Najib Razak has been found guilty of all seven charges in the first of several multi-million dollar corruption trials.
Mr Najib had pleaded not guilty to the charges of criminal breach of trust, money laundering and abuse of power.
The case was widely seen as a test of Malaysia's rule of law and anti-corruption efforts.
Our South East Asia correspondent, Jonathan Head, explained the significance of the guilty verdict after the first verdict was handed down.
