NEW YORK—The Macau-based billionaire and real estate developer Ng Lap Seng was sentenced to four years in prison on May 11 after being found guilty last July of bribing two United Nations ambassadors to help him build a multibillion dollar conference center.
Ng, 69, was sentenced in Manhattan federal court by U.S. District Judge Vernon Broderick, who also ordered him to forfeit $1.5 million, representing assets used in his crimes, and to pay a $1 million criminal fine.
