The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice are examining Goldman Sachs Group Inc’s role in allegations of corruption and money laundering at Malaysian state investor 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

The U.S. inquiries are at the information-gathering stage, and there is no suggestion of wrongdoing by Goldman Sachs, the paper reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Investigators “have yet to determine if the matter will become a focus of any investigations into the 1MDB scandal,” the Journal quoted a spokeswoman for the FBI as saying.
