Macau Billionaire Jailed in US Subpoenaed in Foreign Bribery Probe
@ A billionaire Macau developer arrested for lying to U.//S.// customs officials about why he brought $4.//5 million in cash into the United States was subpoenaed in 2014 as part of a separate foreign bribery investigation, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday.//
@ Ng Lap Seng, who was previously tied to a ©Clinton era campaign finance probe, is being held without bail on charges filed in Manhattan federal court that he lied to U.//S.// customs officials about the purpose of the cash he brought into the country over a two year period.//In a criminal complaint made public on Monday, an FBI agent recounted serving a subpoena on Ng in July 2014 in connection with an **unrelated investigation,** which a prosecutor in court later said involved a probe based outside of Manhattan.// ©That subpoena, which the complaint said Ng did not respond to, stemmed from a probe in Nevada involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act , which prohibits bribing foreign officials, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the case.//
@ The target of that investigation was unclear.// But Ng*s name has repeatedly surfaced in a private lawsuit against billionaire Sheldon Adelson*s Las Vegas Sands Corp that the casino operator has said it believed prompted an FCPA investigation.//
