June 20 (Reuters) - Former Goldman Sachs banker Brijesh Goel's trial on insider trading charges drew to a close on Tuesday, with his attorney saying he was framed by his friend and a prosecutor saying Goel had lied to a New York jury. Prosecutors agreed not to charge him in exchange for cooperation in the case, including secretly recording his conversations with Goel. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua Naftalis said recordings of Goel urging Niranjan to delete messages about the trades prove his guilt. A Goldman Sachs spokesperson has called Goel's alleged conduct "egregious" and said the bank is cooperating with authorities. The case was one of several U.S. Attorney Damien Williams announced last summer as part of an insider trading crackdown.

A trader says he got tipsy and received some insider info from a buddy while playing squash. The details were revealed at a court hearing this week in an insider trading case against a former Goldman Sachs trader. A former Barclays trader testified against Brijesh Goel, who revealed info on a company that was about to be acquired. During the game, Goel told Niranjan about a company called Lumos Pharma and recommended buying options. According to Bloomberg, Goel says he's been set up by Niranjan, who he claims is looking to avoid punishment for insider trading.
