KUALA LUMPUR: Former Goldman Sachs banker, Roger Ng Chong Hwa, has arrived in Malaysia to assist the authorities' investigation into the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal.
The matter was confirmed by the Inspector General of Police, Tan Sri Razarudin Husain when contacted by Berita Harian today, adding that Ng arrived in the country at midnight.
However, he refused to reveal Ng's current location due to security reasons.
"I confirm that he is already in this country," he said.
It was reported that Ng, who was sentenced to 10 years jail in New York, the United States for his role in embezzling billions of dollars of 1MDB funds, will be sent to Malaysia to face charges in Malaysia.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution said Ng was expected to arrive at a "safe location" in Malaysia at midnight.
Saifuddin said the duration of his stay in Malaysia depends on the investigation process.
Several Malaysian law enforcement agencies are waiting for Ng's return to complete their respective investigations into the 1MDB scandal.
Among the agencies are the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the police.
The former Goldman Sachs investment chief may also be required by the Securities Commission (SC) and the Inland Revenue Board (IRB).
