Another round of MACC questioning for Rohana

 

MACC sources said the agency also received several documents from Rohana Rozhan, a former CEO of Astro Malaysia.

PUTRAJAYA: Former Astro CEO Rohana Rozhan went through a second round of questioning by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission today following the disclosure that she had been given a US$10 million London house by a banker involved with 1MDB.

Today’s interview lasted three hours from 9am, according to a Bernama report quoting unnamed MACC sources. The report did not name Rohana but described her as the former group chief executive officer of a satellite television company.

“MACC took her statement again today to get further explanation on several matters. There are also several documents that MACC received from her to facilitate the investigations,” the sources said, according to Bernama.

Rohana was reported to have spent about nine hours at the MACC headquarters last Thursday (Feb 24), two days after the incriminating testimony by former Goldman Sachs banker Tim Leissner.

Leissner told a US court that he had a 10-year affair with Rohana and that she had demanded the gift of a London house for her silence over his involvement with 1MDB.

Leissner had pleaded guilty in 2018 to violating US anti-corruption laws and being involved in money laundering conspiracy. He is the US government’s star witness in the bribery trial of Leissner’s former colleague Roger Ng. - FMT
