Defence harassing Leissner, 1MDB prosecutor says


NEW YORK (BLOOMBERG): Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker Tim Leissner is getting "harassing” questions about his love life by a defence lawyer for his alleged 1MDB co-conspirator Roger Ng, the prosecution complained.

Leissner, who pleaded guilty in 2018, is the government’s star witness in the case against his former Goldman subordinate Ng. Marc Agnifilo, Ng’s lawyer, began his cross-examination of Leissner on Tuesday (March 1) afternoon and aggressively questioned him about lies he’d told in the past, including to his former wives and mistresses.
