Raj Rajaratnam’s brother Rengan went to the Galleon Group LLC office after his sibling’s Oct. 16, 2009, arrest and removed notebooks, former Galleon trader Adam Smith told prosecutors, according to a court filing.

Raj Rajaratnam’s lawyers, in a March 27 court filing, asked a judge to bar Smith from testifying about Rengan Rajaratnam’s actions on that day. Prosecutors want to offer the account from Smith, who will testify for the government today, “to prove the existence” of a conspiracy and “Rengan’s membership in it,” they wrote.
