US District Judge Margo Brodie, who presided over the case, approved the proposed order, which provides that Ng will immediately surrender to prison authorities upon his return to the US.
Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker Roger Ng can return to Malaysia to assist in that nation’s 1MDB probe before serving a 10-year US sentence for his role in the looting of billions of dollars from the sovereign wealth fund, federal prosecutors in New York said.
Ng, a Malaysian national, was supposed to begin serving his sentence on Oct 6. But the US attorney’s office in Brooklyn, New York, said Thursday that the government had reached a deal with Malaysia by which Ng would instead surrender to US marshals for transport to the Southeast Asian nation.
