  "summary": "The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) in New South Wales heard testimony from Charles Perrottet, the younger brother of Liberal Party figure Dominic Perrottet, regarding a dinner meeting with fugitive developer Jean Nassif at Nobu restaurant in Crown Casino in May 2021. Perrottet testified that he never asked Nassif for payments for political outcomes, but was met with skepticism from the lawyer representing Nassif, who described his responses as \"obfuscation\". The developer had initially withdrawn from a scheduled video link appearance from Lebanon due to questions about the meeting.",
