KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia—A British national who worked as a media adviser to former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak is facing two counts of money-laundering charges over $3.5 million that was allegedly linked to his former boss, a government prosecutor said Thursday. The former adviser, Paul Stadlen, left Malaysia last year, shortly after Mr. Najib’s surprise defeat in national elections that were dominated by a multibillion-dollar corruption scandal at state investment fund 1Malaysia Development Bhd., or 1MDB.
