KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Najib Razak has arrived at the Sessions Court here to face 21 fresh charges related to the 1MDB affair, a day after his arrest by the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC).

Najib, who appeared in court donning a dark blue suit, was also questioned at the Bukit Aman police headquarters earlier today, after spending a night under MACC custody.

He is already facing seven charges related to some RM42 million transferred to his account from SRC International, in July.

In July, Najib was charged with four counts — three for criminal breach of trust and one for abusing his power — related to some RM42 million transferred into his bank account.

Last month, he was charged with three counts of money laundering related to the same transaction, under the Anti-Money Laundering Act, Anti-Terrorism Financing Act and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act, or AMLA.
