Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker Roger Ng’s wife created a shell company and opened a bank account that prosecutors say she used to help launder tens of millions of dollars in illegal kickbacks from Malaysian financier Jho Low.
Jurors at Ng’s bribery trial were shown a raft of emails Monday that the U.S. said is proof Ng’s wife, Hwee Bin Lim, “played a central and crucial role” in helping her husband launder the illicit payments from a trio of bond deals the Goldman Sachs engineered for the sovereign wealth fund 1Malaysia Development Bhd., or 1MDB. Lim wasn’t charged.
