NEW YORK: Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker and convicted 1MDB conspirator Roger Ng said in a court filing that he spent six months in a squalid Malaysian prison where he was sometimes chained to as many as 20 other inmates.

Ng described his previous incarceration in a letter to US District Judge Margo Brodie pleading for leniency when he is sentenced next week for his role in the looting of Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB.

In the Saturday letter, Ng argued that the time he spent in Malaysia’s Sungai Buloh prison prior to his May 2019 extradition to the US was"absolute hell” and punishment enough for his crimes. Ng is asking Brodie to give him no additional jail time in the US when she sentences him March 9 in federal court in Brooklyn, New York.

Ng was convicted by a federal jury in April of three felony counts, including conspiring to violate US anti-bribery laws and conspiring to launder money. Tim Leissner, Ng’s former Goldman boss, pleaded guilty and was the government’s star witness at trial.Goldman paid more than US$2.3bil in the plea deal, the largest penalty in US history for a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. – Bloomberg
