Jean-Claude Perrottet evidence continues after admitting he paid for Liberal Party memberships to stack branches
Evidence presented to the ICAC reveals that Jean-Claude Perrottet was involved in discussions regarding efforts to stop a building commissioner from investigating developer Jean Nassif. The intercepted calls highlight political pressure exerted on government officials.
Why it matters
The case exposes potential corruption and the misuse of political influence within the New South Wales government.
Jean Nassif asked Jean-Claude Perrottet to take a message to his brothers Dominic or Charles that they “needed to stop” the building commissioner, phone taps played to the ICAC reveal.
In the third and final intercepted phone call played to the commission, Nassif complains to Jean-Claude Perrottet that then-building commissioner David Chandler wasn’t going to “pull back” from targeting his projects.
The call was in October 2021, just days after Dominic Perrottet became premier.
