KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia's appeals court on Monday granted a bid by jailed former prime minister Najib Razak to see a document he said should allow him to serve his sentence at home, in a rare win for a disgraced ex-leader at the heart of the Southeast Asian country's biggest scandal.
Najib, who was jailed over the multibillion-dollar 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) state fund scandal, had appealed a lower court decision last July that dismissed his bid to confirm the existence of and execute a royal order that he said entitled him to house arrest.
