Home Affairs investigating Maguire's 'cash-for-visas' scam after ICAC hearing
The Department of Home Affairs has confirmed it's helping the NSW corruption watchdog investigate allegations of a so-called 'cash-for-visas' scam involving former Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire.
"As is the case with federal and state and territory members, occasionally representations are made either directly to the department either by way of direct reference to me or to officers within the department or by way of federal members of Parliament," Mr Pezzullo said. PEZZULLO: Not as I am advised in relation to the activities of the former member of the Legislative Assembly Mr Maguire, but in checking the matters that are currently before ICAC I can advise this Committee that certain individuals, not Mr Maguire himself, but certain individuals associated with the matter have come to attention previously.
He told the hearing he introduced several Riverina businessmen to an associate, Maggie Wang, who organised visas for Chinese nationals.
