Exclusive: Besieged Sydney property developer Jean Nassif claims he 'never did anything wrong' and has vowed to fight serious fraud accusations against him

for a five-tower residential development by Toplace in Castle Hill. Ms Nassif has since been charged with serious fraud offences. Mr Nassif has not been charged over the alleged scheme. However, a court has received documents referring to him as a co-accused.Herald

The comments come amid a contentious upper house inquiry which has hotly pursued Mr Nassif over extraordinary claims aired in parliament last year about allegations of impropriety at a council in Sydney’s north-west that ultimately benefited Mr Nassif’s company. The Hills Shire parliamentary inquiry has been keen for Egan to enlighten them on Toplace’s dealings in the Hills region, particularly with some elements of the Liberal party.

The inquiry was triggered by allegations raised by NSW Liberal MP Ray Williams that senior members of his party had been “paid significant funds” to introduce new councillors who would support Nassif’s developments.Egan, 52, also runs Flagship Communications which provides strategic advice to a wide variety of large corporations, councils and government departments.

The pamphlets purported to come from a radical Islamic group supporting the Labor Party and were being handed out in the federal seat of Lindsay. Another person nabbed was the husband of the unsuccessful Liberal candidate. Financial crime detectives began zeroing in on Mr Nassif’s company Toplace in April 2021, launching an extensive investigation that has allegedly captured admissions from the businessman in secretly intercepted phone calls that the documents used were “fake”.

In lawfully intercepted phone calls, it is alleged that Mr Nassif requested the movement of contracts of sale from one building to another, admitting that the contracts are “fake” and “never going to be completed anyway”.

Karine Jean-Pierre snubs DeSantis' Disney tax op-edWhite House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday sharply dismissed a recent op-ed by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis after he terminated Disney's self-governing status and special tax treatment in his state. There's no sense in this administration. Too Much denial. Rubbish, it's Big Business that has bought out 'The Left'. Clearly Ron DeSantis is something of a cretin.
