The Independent Commission Against Corruption (Icac) is questioning former Labor councillor Sharangan Maheswaran over a message he received alleging that a way to damage the reputation of NSW Liberal minister David Elliot existed. Maheswaran denies that the message, sent by lobbyist Jeremy Greenwood, was related to his work for fugitive property developer Jean Nassif's company, Beckington.
Maheswaran told the inquiry that he had a "common interest" with Greenwood but insisted the message was not connected to any political work for Nassif.
