NEW YORK (Reuters): Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker Roger Ng pleaded not guilty to criminal charges linked to a multibillion-dollar scandal at the Malaysian state investment fund 1MDB in an appearance at federal court in New York on Monday.

He was extradited on May 3 to New York from Kuala Lumpur, where he had been jailed since November.
