Former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak pleaded not guilty to three charges of criminal breach of trust and one count of using his position for gratification.
The charges are part of a probe into missing money from Malaysia’s state fund 1MDB, with over 42 million ringgit transferred into Mr Najib’s personal bank account.
Mr Najib said he is confident in his innocence, and is due to appear in court February next year.
