Description
The verdict is in: seven and six-year prison sentences for Petrosaudi director Tarek Obaid and his right-hand man Patrick Mahony. The two men were accused of embezzling $1.8 billion from the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB. “After all these years, we're satisfied,” says Xavier Justo, the man who raised the alarm about the whole affair. Defence lawyer Myriam Fehr-Alaoui, on the other hand, deplores an "extremely critical" decision, announcing that Mr Obaid will appeal. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
