NEW YORK: Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker Roger Ng’s wife “played a central and crucial role” in helping her husband launder the illicit payments from a trio of bond deals that Goldman Sachs engineered for 1MDB, the court heard.

Ng’s wife, Lim Hwee Bin, created a shell company and opened a bank account that prosecutors said she used to help launder tens of millions of dollars in illegal kickbacks from fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low.
