M’sia may ask DoJ to get RM2.4bil from US bank


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is considering asking the US Department of Justice (DoJ) to get Goldman Sachs to return nearly US$600mil (RM2.38bil) in fees it earned from bonds raised for scandal-tainted 1Malaysia Develop­ment Bhd (1MDB), two sources familiar with the matter said.

Malaysian authorities want to ask the DoJ, which is pursuing a corruption and money laundering probe at 1MDB, to get Goldman to disgorge profits it made from the sale, after which Malaysia would claim the money, both sources said.
