Bloomberg – Danielle Chiesi, accused with Raj Rajaratnam in the largest insider-trading case involving hedge funds, testified that U.S. agents questioned her before advising her of her right to remain silent and to seek a lawyer’s advice.
Chiesi, testifying for the first time in a hearing today, told U.S. District Judge Richard Holwell in New York that a group of five federal agents who woke her up and arrested her in her apartment Oct. 16, 2009, asked her questions and tried to get her to cooperate with their investigation before giving her a so-called Miranda warning.
