Malaysian government filed criminal charges against 17 directors of Goldman Sachs as a result of further investigations linked to the 1MDB fund which is known as the number one Multi-Billion Dollars corruption scandal in Malaysia.
According to the investigators, the criminal activities were accompanied by a number of false documents including statements which covered the reality of the criminal endeavour.
Attorney General Mr. Tommy Thomas noted that both fines and custodial sentences were part of the request upon the charges.
Each charge carries a maximum of 10 years of incarceration and penalties of up to 1million ringgit.
