澳大利亚独立反腐委员会(ICAC)针对"罗斯尼行动"的调查进入第二周,涉及新南威尔士州自由党内部派系、天主教学校和商界人士的一系列指控[1]。在公开听证中,多名关键证人承认了可疑行为,包括接收款项、泄露机密文件和采取规避监控措施等[1]。
前总理Dominic Perrottet的弟弟Jean-Claude Perrottet供述每月获得5000澳元的报酬,但称不记得自己做了什么工作[1]。天主教学校NSW的员工Robert Assaf则获得年薪135000澳元,期间他同时从事派系工作[1]。据透露,Assaf与Jeremy Greenwood在Belfield一家咖啡馆会面时,刻意将手机和电脑留在车内,以避免被追踪[1]。
调查还披露了议员Damien Tudehope的违法行为[1]。根据ICAC法第114条,泄露收到传票属于犯罪,可能面临12个月监禁[1]。Tudehope承认向Greenwood泄露了2023年议会调查的机密草案报告,随后被转交议会特权委员会处理[1]。
窃听电话记录显示,逃亡开发商Jean Nassif曾建议向Jean-Claude的兄弟提供10万澳元以支持预选活动[1]。Nassif还要求Jean-Claude转达消息给相关人士,要求停止建筑委员会主任David Chandler[1]。
Australia's Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) entered the second week of Operation Rosny, an investigation into allegations involving factional divisions within New South Wales' Liberal Party, Catholic schools, and business figures.[1]
Multiple witnesses admitted to questionable conduct during the hearings. Jean-Claude Perrottet, brother of former Premier Dominic Perrottet, received $5,000 monthly but could not recall what work he performed in exchange.[1] Robert Assaf, who earned $135,000 in his role at Catholic Schools NSW, acknowledged undertaking factional work during his employment there.[1] To avoid detection, Assaf and Jeremy Greenwood left their phones and computers in a vehicle during a meeting at a Belfield café.[1]
The inquiry also uncovered breaches of confidentiality. Damien Tudehope admitted to leaking a confidential draft report from a 2023 parliamentary inquiry to Greenwood, an action that violates Section 114 of the ICAC Act and carries a maximum penalty of 12 months imprisonment.[1] Tudehope was subsequently referred to parliament's privileges committee for further action.[1] Intercepted phone calls involving fugitive developer Jean Nassif revealed discussions about channeling $100,000 to support a preselection candidate related to Perrottet's family, with Nassif allegedly requesting assistance in removing David Chandler, the head of a building commission.[1]
