  "account": "Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has requested the postponement of his 15-year prison sentence and RM11.387 billion fine in the 1MDB case, according to the High Court. The court found him guilty of four charges of abuse of power and 21 charges of misappropriation of funds involving RM2.28 billion from the 1MDB account held by his personal bank, AmBank, between February 2011 and December 2014. The 15-year prison term is set to begin in 2028 after Najib completes his six-year sentence for the SRC International case. Najib's lawyer, Shafee Abdullah, informed the High Court judge about the request while stating that the certification of the death warrant has already been filed. He is seeking a postponement while awaiting the appeal of the 1MDB prison sentence in the Court of Appeals and requesting that no capital punishment be imposed upon him when his 15-year prison term begins in 2028. Assistant Public Prosecutor Mustaffa P Kunyalam informed the court that the prosecution is willing to respond to the request. The High Court then scheduled the hearing for October 14 and ordered all relevant documents to be filed a day before.",
