澳大利亚前自由党权力经纪人Charles Perrottet在独立反腐委员会(ICAC)听证会上作证,承认他多次向开发商Jean Nassif撒谎,以协助朋友Jeremy Greenwood和Christian Ellis向其公司Beckington追讨欠款1。Perrottet称他利用与Nassif的个人关系来推进这一目标,其中包括在2021年1月于Longueville Hotel酒吧与Nassif的律师Sharangan Maheswaran会面,该次会面涉及一笔148,000美元的支票,由Nassif支付给Beckington1。
根据Perrottet的证词,他向Nassif做出虚假承诺和提供捏造的政治更新以促使其支付账单1。这些不实陈述涉及房地产开发事项和不存在的政治联系1。同时,Nassif创办的Toplace公司已经倒闭,欠债权人共计20亿美元1。Nassif目前已逃亡黎巴嫩,面临严重欺诈指控,定于周五通过视频连线在ICAC出庭1。
Charles Perrottet, a former Australian Liberal Party power broker, has testified at an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) hearing that he deliberately lied to developer Jean Nassif multiple times to assist his associates in recovering company debts 1. Perrottet acknowledged fabricating promises and inventing political connections during his dealings with Nassif, actions undertaken to pressure the developer into settling financial obligations owed by Beckington, a company owned by his associates Jeremy Greenwood and Christian Ellis 1.
The central transaction at issue involved a cheque for $148,000 that Nassif paid to Beckington 1. Perrottet revealed that he met with Nassif's lawyer, Sharangan Maheswaran, at Longueville Hotel in January 2021 to facilitate this payment 1. In making his case to Nassif, Perrottet provided false statements regarding real estate developments and referenced nonexistent political connections, all designed to induce payment of the outstanding bill 1.
The case forms part of a broader investigation into allegations of fraud and improper political donations. Nassif, whose company Toplace collapsed owing creditors $2 billion, has fled to Lebanon and faces serious fraud charges 1. He is scheduled to appear by video link on Friday 1.
