Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is reviewing a claim from a confessed member of an international insider-trading ring that he stole confidential information a decade ago from his former girlfriend, who is now a managing director at the firm, to trade on.

Marc Demane Debih, the government’s star witness, testified Wednesday in a Manhattan insider-trading trial that he got data on three proposed corporate acquisitions in the mining industry from Zeynep Yenel, who was then his girlfriend.
