Mr. Preko who will be sentenced later today was found guilty on two counts of money laundering as well as forgery for aiding jailed former governor of Delta State, James Ibori in schemes that saw him create several shell companies that help Ibori launder at least $7 million.
Mr. Preko a Ghanaian national who first met James Ibori in 1997 helped him create Guernsey-based shell companies through which Ibori bled his state. Mr. Preko left Goldman Sachs in 2001 as Ibori was completing his second year in office as governor.
Ibori was sentenced to 13 years in jail in 2012 after he pleaded guilty to money laundering charges brought against him by British prosecutors.
