NEW YORK—The wife of former Goldman Sachs banker Roger Ng on Monday testified in her husband’s defense at a U.S. trial over the looting of hundreds of millions of dollars from Malaysia’s 1MDB sovereign wealth fund between 2009 and 2014.
Ng, Goldman’s former chief for Malaysia, is charged with conspiring to launder money and violate an anti-corruption law. Prosecutors say he helped his former boss Tim Leissner embezzle money from 1MDB, launder the proceeds and bribe officials to win business for Goldman.
