A Malaysian appeals court has overturned the convictions of two police officers sentenced to hang for the murder of Mongolian modelAltantuya Shaaribiibuu, but the local and international ramifications that came with her brutal killing will continue to haunt Prime Minister Najib Razak.

Shaariibuu was a 28-year-old former model and interpreter at the center of allegations of $1.1 billion in kickbacks involving the Malaysian government’s purchase of two French submarines in 2002 when current Prime Minister Najib Razak was the Defense Minister.
