NEW YORK: Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker Roger Ng wasn’t always included in meetings held by key players in the multibillion-dollar looting of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), according to testimony presented by his defence team.

Ng, the only Goldman banker to go on trial in the 1MDB scandal, is accused of plotting with his former boss Tim Leissner and Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low, to pull off a fraud in which billions of dollars were siphoned from the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund.
