Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak is scheduled to appear in court Thursday after being arrested and charged this week with transferring hundreds of millions of dollars from state funds into his personal bank accounts, according to the country’s anticorruption agency.

Najib was arrested Wednesday over a transfer of $681 million into his account from the country’s strategic investment fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) in 2013, according to Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Commission. He will face at least two dozen charges including under Section 23 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act, according to the Associated Press, which covers abuse of power for personal “gratification.” Najib says the money was a political donation from Saudi royalty.

According to U.S. Justice Department prosecutors, Najib and his associates have looted an estimated $4.5 billion from 1MDB. Najib was arrested in July and charged with multiple counts of criminal breach of trust and corruptio..

A Hong Kong court on Wednesday sentenced a Malaysian professor and anesthesiologist to life in prison for killing his wife and daughter using two yoga balls filled with carbon monoxide, a murder the court said was “premeditated and calculated,” the South China Morning Post reports.

Khaw Kim Sun, a 53-year-old professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, was unanimously found guilty of killing his wife, Wong Siew Fing, 47, and their second child, Lily Khaw Li Ling, 16, in May 2015. Khaw had pleaded not guilty.

Three years ago, a jogger found the wife unresponsive in her yellow Mini-Cooper with her daughter after Khaw had placed leaking carbon-monoxide-filled inflatable balls in the trunk. The two were rushed to the hospital, where they were declared dead. A post-mortem found lethal amounts of carbon monoxide in their ..

President Donald Trump recommended that Spain build a border wall across the Sahara desert to stem the Mediterranean migrant crisis, Spain’s foreign minister said this week.

The Guardian reports that Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Borrell relayed Trump’s remarks to attendees at a luncheon in Madrid. His comments were widely reported in Spanish media.

Trump is thought to have made the suggestion in June when Borrell accompanied Spain’s King Felipe and Queen Letizia on an official trip to the White House.

A foreign ministry spokesperson confirmed Borrell’s comments to the Guardian, but declined to comment further.

According to Borrell, Trump brushed off concerns about the plan’s feasibility, claiming that “the Sahara border can’t be bigger than our border with Mexico.”

The U.S.-Mexico border is about 2,000 miles long, while the Sahara desert stretches an estimated 3,000 miles across 11 countries in northern Africa; at roughly 3.6 million sq. mi., it compares more closely to the tota..
