Charles Perrottet, brother of former New South Wales premier Dominic Perrottet, has told the Independent Commission Against Corruption that the allegations made by property developer Jean Nassif in a secretly recorded call are “bravado” and “far‑fetched.” Nassif had claimed the premier was his “best friend” and that he had made prohibited donations to support factional Liberal work. The call, intercepted by police, was heard by Icac as part of an inquiry into potential corruption and improper political donations. The hearing highlights ongoing scrutiny of the Premier’s network and the broader issue of illicit funding in New South Wales politics.
