FORMER NSW Labor powerbrokers Eddie Obeid and Joe Tripodi has been found to be corrupt over the nondisclosure of the ownership of cafes at Circular Quay and attempts to renew the leases without a tender.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption found that Mr Obeid misused his position as a member of parliament to lobby ministers and public servants on several occasions over the leases for the cafes, which he and his family secretly owned. It recommended that the Director of Public Prosecutions consider charges of misconduct in public office against him.
ICAC: Statement on findings of corrupt conduct
ICAC also recommended the DPP consider charges of misconduct in public office over these actions as well.
Mr Obeid was found to be corrupt last year over the allocation of a coal licence over his family farm, which resulted in a $30 million windfall in his family. He is yet to face any criminal charges.
