The corruption trial of a former Goldman Sachs banker began with jury selection on Monday in Brooklyn federal court, following his criminal charges linked to a multibillion-dollar scandal at the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB.
Roger Ng, Goldman’s former head of investment banking in Malaysia, faced trial following a three-year delay due to the pandemic. The Malaysian citizen is the only former Goldman Sachs employee on trial in the United States for the 1MDB scandal.
