ICAC Operation Rosny LIVE updates: Former Strathfield councillor, Toplace lawyer Sharangan Maheswaran to give evidence

Sharangan Maheswaran, who is yet to give evidence to the ICAC, appears to have the uncanny ability to be everywhere all at once, including being in the male bathroom near the commission’s hearing room at the very same time another witness, Charles Perrottet, was availing himself of the facilities.

Maheswaran, 36, is a key link to many troubled folk facing this Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiry. He was the lawyer and right-hand man to fugitive developer Jean Nassif, and best buddies with a private investigator engaged to surveil targets and a former Strathfield councillor.

Earlier this week, when fugitive developer Nassif was in the middle of his rabid ravings from his Beirut bedroom, Nassif was asked whether he was getting messages from Maheswaran while giving evidence. “No, no, no,” said Nassif.

“Have you spoken to Sharangan about what to say in relation to your telephone intercepts?” he was asked. Nassif denied this, along with the suggestion he and Maheswaran had discussed Charles Perrottet’s evidence.
