Former Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd group chief executive officer Datuk Rohana Rozhan was at the anti-graft agency office again, this time to surrender some documents.
It is learnt that she arrived at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters at 9am on Monday (Feb 28).
Sources said Rohana spent about three hours with graft investigators, where she was likely to have explained the contents of the documents that she had brought along.
However, it is not known what the documents were.
This was the second time that Rohana was called by graft investigators following testimony by Tim Leissner in a US federal court in the trial of Malaysian Roger Ng, accused of conspiring to launder money and violate an anti-bribery law involving 1MDB funds.
On Feb 24, Rohana was summoned by the MACC for her statement to be recorded.
On Feb 22, Leissner testified that he had gifted a media CEO, with whom he had an affair for a decade, a US$10mil (RM41.85mil) home in London.
He claimed his ex-lover had blackmailed him into buying her the London home and threatened to expose his involvement in 1MDB.
The relationship lasted from 2003 to 2013, Leissner told the jury.
The MACC had issued a freeze order on assets and a bank account belonging to Rohana.
The freeze order was made as graft investigators began to probe claims of her receiving the house that was bought using money from 1MDB.
