KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian prosecutors have not appealed against the acquittal of former prime minister Najib Razak in a case of audit tampering related to state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), his lawyers said on Tuesday, risking backlash for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim who has vowed to fight graft.
