Ex-Goldman Sachs banker Roger Ng and his lawyer Marc Agnifilo leave the federal court in New York, US, May 6, 2019. REUTERSPIX: Malaysia wants a former Goldman Sachs banker convicted last year in New York of helping loot billions of dollars from its 1MDB sovereign wealth fund to return to the country before starting his 10-year US prison sentence.
“The United States is also working to ensure that the procedures governing the defendant’s return to Malaysia will not unduly delay the service of his US sentence,“ prosecutors said. Ng, 51, was convicted in March 2022 on bribery and money laundering conspiracy charges. Brodie called his embezzlement “a crime of pure greed” when sentencing Ng a year later.
In a separate letter to Brodie on Tuesday, lawyers hired this month by Malaysia’s government said the United States had “backtracked” on its commitments regarding Ng’s surrender. The lawyers called the matter a “very serious issue.”
