About
Robert Assaf is a former powerbroker within the New South Wales Liberal Party, currently residing in the UK. He has become a figure of interest in an ongoing investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). The ICAC is examining donations made to the NSW Liberal Party, and Assaf is reportedly at the heart of these allegations. Despite his central role in the investigation, it is not expected that he will appear before the ICAC, as he is living abroad. The investigation has also seen other prominent Liberal figures, such as Angus Taylor, named in relation to potential donations to a conservative Liberal group known as the Reformers, though Taylor is not accused of wrongdoing. Assaf's past influence and current connection to the donation probe make him a significant, albeit absent, subject in the ICAC's inquiry.
