KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia has extradited a former Goldman Sachs banker to the United States to face criminal charges linked to a multibillion-dollar scandal at state fund 1MDB, The Edge financial daily reported on Monday, citing an unidentified source.
Ng had agreed to be sent to the United States, but the proceedings were delayed after Malaysia’s home minister said he should first face criminal charges in the Southeast Asian nation. The attorney general’s office did not immediately respond to a Reuters’ request for comment. Ng’s lawyer was unavailable for comment.
The DoJ has estimated that a total of $4.5 billion was misappropriated by high-level 1MDB fund officials and their associates between 2009 and 2014, including some of the funds that Goldman Sachs helped to raise. He was also charged in the United States for conspiring to launder 1MDB money and violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a U.S. law targeting official bribery abroad.
