24 May 2019NEW YORK, May 24 ― US prosecutors yesterday handed over the first of 1 million evidentiary documents to the lawyers of Roger Ng, a former Goldman Sachs banker facing criminal charges linked to a multibillion-dollar scandal at the Malaysian state investment fund 1MDB.
Ng pleaded not guilty to the charges on May 6 and was released in exchange for a US$20 million bond. Government lawyers have said they hope to avoid a trial by reaching a plea deal though Ng's attorney. Malaysia's home minister wanted Ng to face criminal charges there first, but agreed to temporarily surrender him to the United States for 10 months, Malaysia's Attorney General, Tommy Thomas, said in a statement.But that issue is for the US and Malaysian governments to discuss, Agnifilo told reporters.
