NEW YORK (BLOOMBERG): The bribery trial of ex-Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker Roger Ng turned tabloid for a while on Tuesday (Feb 22) as Ng’s former boss Tim Leissner testified that a media CEO with whom he had an affair blackmailed him into buying her a US$10mil (RM41.85mil) home in London.

Asked by prosecutor Drew Rolle about his extramarital affairs, Leissner cited several, including one with Datuk Rohana Rozhan, former chief executive officer of media company Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd.
