The Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) has successfully recovered four high value artworks, including a Picasso and a Miró, as part of the ongoing 1MDB asset recovery process. These pieces, worth over RM800,000, were seized during international probes and have now arrived safely in Malaysia to undergo an acclimatization process at the MACC headquarters. 

The recovery of these items is a significant symbolic victory for the government's efforts to reclaim funds and assets diverted during the 1MDB scandal. There is currently tight security at the National Art Gallery, where the works are expected to be displayed once they are cleared by forensic and conservation experts. 

In other legal news, the High Court has granted the Attorney General's application to appeal a bid by former Prime Minister Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest. This decision marks another critical turn in the complex legal battles surrounding the former leader's incarceration.
