Calls intensify to probe into Leissner’s US$10 mil ‘property gift’

KUALA LUMPUR – Authorities should get cracking in establishing the accuracy of Tim Leissner’s allegations of being blackmailed by former lover Datuk Rohana Rozhan into purchasing a US$10 million (RM42 million) London property, especially if it was bought with funds misappropriated from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).


Despite the former Goldman Sachs banker’s revelations coming from the witness dock of a federal court in Brooklyn, legal minds here were consistent that police, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, and especially the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) have enough basis to probe into Leissner’s testimony.

Even if the circumstances behind the supposed US$10 million London property for the former Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd CEO appear as effects of personal fallouts, lawyers said the priority is to establish how Leissner paid for the house.
