‘Did you regularly lie?’: Charles Perrottet admits he fibbed to friends
Once known as the “muscle” of the Liberal Party, Charles Perrottet has denied taking payments from fugitive developer Jean Nassif.
Charles Perrottet, brother of former New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet, has repeatedly denied receiving payments from property developer Jean Nassif in exchange for political outcomes. This denial came during an appearance before the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
Perrottet made the claims while under oath, stating he cannot explain a message that appeared after a Nassif development was refused. The message read, "Charles fucked this whole thing." He further admitted to potentially lying to close friend Christian Ellis, who is mentioned in the ICAC's allegations.
Perrottet also rejected accusations that he was fabricating evidence for the ICAC. The brother of the former premier maintained his innocence throughout the hearing, despite the allegations of misconduct.
