Developer's secret recordings rock Liberal Party corruption inquiry
Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
The Independent Commission Against Corruption has begun public hearings into Operation Rozny, examining allegations that a conservative Liberal Party faction called the Reformers solicited $2 million in illegal donations from property developer Jean Nassif and his company Toplace, plus $390,000 from other prohibited donors. Secret phone recordings reveal Nassif boasting about his influence with the NSW government the day after Dominic Perrottet became Premier, claiming connections through the Premier's brothers and demanding the removal of specific MPs and officials. The inquiry centres on whether donations were exchanged for political favours, with Liberal MP Eleni Petinos named in the recordings as someone Nassif believed would support his interests.
