A Goldman Sachs ex-banker faces trial in Brooklyn for allegedly orchestrating a $1M bribery scheme in Ghana to fast-track a power plant project — while the bank itself remains uncharged and cooperating. Prosecutors present damning emails, including one where Berko ordered secrecy and another referencing “holy rain” as a coded bribe signal. Berko denies wrongdoing, arguing the government’s case is built on circumstantial evidence, likening it to the Milli Vanilli scandal. If convicted, he could spend up to 20 years behind bars — and the trial’s two-week marathon is just beginning.
