Liberal party figure tells inquiry he never asked Jean Nassif for payments for political outcomes' as lawyer tells him she is gobsmacked' by his obfuscation'

The younger brother of Dominic Perrottet has insisted he never asked a fugitive property developer for money for political outcomes - including at a meeting at fine-dining restaurant Nobu in Crown Casino, an inquiry has heard.

On Tuesday, the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption (Icac) heard that developer Jean Nassif had withdrawn from a scheduled videolink appearance from Lebanon later this week, after Charles Perrottet faced questions about the dinner meeting between the two men in Melbourne in May 2021.
