Charles Perrottet, brother of former New South Wales premier Dominic Perrottet, repeatedly denied accepting payments from property developer Jean Nassif to secure political outcomes for him during an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) hearing. Perrottet testified that he cannot explain a message sent following a Nassif development's refusal, which stated, "Charles fucked this whole thing."
He also admitted to potentially lying to close friend Christian Ellis, a party named in ICAC's allegations. Perrottet firmly rejected any accusations that he was creating false evidence for the ICAC.
