Ng v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on June 29, 2020
Issues: (1) Whether the generic term “organization” in
18 U.S.C. § 666 should be construed to include quasi-sovereign
public international entities like the United Nations; and (2) whether the official-act requirement under McDonnell v. United States
applies to Section 666 and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prosecutions like this one
and, if so, whether it was satisfied here.
