Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has placed Andrea Vella, its former co-head of investment banking in Asia, on leave, according to a person briefed on the decision.
Vella was put on leave over his role in the firm’s involvement with Malaysia’s 1MDB corruption case, pending review of the allegations, said the person, who asked not to be identified without authorization to speak publicly. Vella was demoted last month.
