Jean Nassif to give evidence at ICAC after months away
Developer Jean Nassif is scheduled to appear at an ICAC inquiry. It concerns a $2 million payment scheme to political operatives.
Nassif, 58, fled to Lebanon in December 2022. He is now scheduled to give evidence at the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
The inquiry has heard that Nassif paid $2 million to Liberal operatives. These included Jeremy Greenwood, Christian Ellis and Charles Perrottet.
The money was allegedly laundered through a lobbying company. It was used to get opposition research targeting two people.
They were former Building Commission chief David Chandler and former police minister David Elliott. Nassif was previously scheduled to appear via video link in early September.
He provided a medical certificate to excuse himself. His appearance was put off multiple times.
It is now listed for Monday.
