Rajaratnam Wiretaps to Be Played at Ex-Galleon Deputy’s Trial

Galleon Group LLC co-founder Raj Rajaratnam, the hedge fund manager convicted of insider trading, will be heard again on recorded wiretaps in the trial of his former deputy, Zvi Goffer, the judge overseeing the case said.

Rajaratnam, who didn’t testify in his trial, was convicted of 14 criminal counts last week by jurors who heard him talking in dozens of wiretapped conversations with employees and alleged co-conspirators. U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan said recordings of Rajaratnam will be played in the case of Goffer and two others whose trial began yesterday with jury selection.
