Episode Details

A lawyer for a developer on the run is now under fire after being grilled by anti-corruption investigators over his ties to builder Jean Nassif — who’s currently hiding in Lebanon. The commission uncovered explosive texts between Maheswaran and political lobbyist Jeremy Greenwood, including one where Greenwood ominously said, “We have something that will kill Elliott,” referring to David Elliott, a vocal critic of Nassif. Maheswaran brushed it off with a dismissive reply, but investigators pushed back, reminding him companies are made of people — not robots. He admitted working closely with Nassif since 2020, holding shifting roles worth nearly $1.4 million over three years — more than previously recorded. Authorities seized his devices just days after raiding Nassif’s properties. Meanwhile, Nassif himself called into the inquiry from Lebanon, leveling wild accusations against Elliott — calling him racist and corrupt — while claiming he’s the “Godfather” of the Liberal Party and even orchestrated Elliott’s ousting — all while denying any direct payment to lobbyists.
