TL;DR Summary

Malaysia's Federal Court has dismissed former Prime Minister Najib Razak's final bid to review his corruption conviction over the multi-billion dollar scandal at state fund 1MDB. Najib, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison, can no longer challenge the conviction in court, but has applied for a royal pardon. The court ruled that there was no miscarriage of justice in the top court's decision last year. Najib faces three other trials related to graft at 1MDB and other government agencies.
