On April 8, Ng was found guilty by the US court of corruption charges related to his role in helping loot hundreds of millions of dollars from Malaysia’s 1MDB fund. “The US Department of Justice had applied for temporary extradition of Ng to New York until the end of August. I’m sure that it will apply for an extension of the temporary extradition as the sentencing is in September.
Ng’s lawyer Tan Hock Chuan confirmed the date of sentencing and also told the court that his client has filed an appeal against the US court’s decision. Judge Muhammad Jamil Hussin then set October 19 for the prosecution and defence to inform the court of the accused’s latest status.
