KUALA LUMPUR: Former 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) chief financial officer (CFO) Azmi Tahir has denied that he was the Malaysian officer who took a bribe from ex-Goldman Sachs banker Tim Leissner.

During cross-examination here on Thursday (Jan 27), the 12th prosecution witness also disagreed to a suggestion by lawyer Tania Scivetti, who represented Datuk Seri Najib Razak, that he was not charged in court despite his role as a signatory because he testified against the former prime minister.
