In 2015, a report[6] said that up to $700 million was wired from 1MDB, a Malaysian state investment company, to Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak's personal accounts. Najib threatened to sue the newspaper. The report was a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize.[7] This led to an investigation in Malaysia. On July 28, 2020, Najib was found guilty on seven charges in the 1MDB scandal and sentenced to 12 years in prison.[8]
