May 17 (UPI) -- Malaysian police raided former Prime Minister Najib Razak's properties late Wednesday, seizing handbags, clothes and gifts.
Najib, who had just returned from evening prayers at the time of the raids, cooperated with police. The new government of Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad is investigating the 64-year-old, who was voted out of office last week, over a corruption scandal regarding a state fund he created called 1MDB. The fund sent hundreds of billions of dollars to Najib's personal accounts, prompting investigations in the U.S., Switzerland and Singapore.
