NEW YORK - Former Goldman Sachs Group banker Tim Leissner's dramatic account of two 2012 London meetings at which 1MDB bribes were discussed came under attack from the defence lawyer for his alleged co-conspirator, Roger Ng.

Leissner, who pleaded guilty in 2018, is the government's star witness against Ng, his onetime subordinate and the only Goldman banker to go on trial over the 1MDB scandal. According to Leissner, Low included Sheikh Mansour in his chart of officials to bribe, saying"the sheikh would not get out of bed for less than US$100 million ."

Mr Agnifilo began his cross-examination of Leissner on Tuesday by questioning him about the lies he told in his private life, particularly to his former wives and mistresses.
