NEW YORK: Senior executives at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. knew that financier Jho Low was involved in transactions related to Malaysia’s 1MDB fund, former star banker Tim Leissner testified.
Leissner, who took the stand for the first time Wednesday as the U.S. government’s key witness in the federal bribery trial of his former subordinate, Roger Ng, described his role in the multibillion-dollar scandal. He told jurors in a Brooklyn, New York, courtroom that he and Ng "and our colleagues knew that Jho Low was the key decision maker, so therefore we had to include Jho Low as well” in all major aspects of the lucrative 1MDB transactions.
