## Resource

Former NSW Liberal minister John Sidoti faces a single charge of attempting to unduly influence councillors, stemming from 2014-2016 lobbying efforts allegedly aimed at boosting his family’s Five Dock property developments. Though ICAC found him guilty of serious corrupt conduct in 2022, Sidoti fiercely denies wrongdoing, calling the allegations a career-ending injustice and claiming he’s been unfairly targeted by the media. In court, prosecutors sought to restrict his contact with witnesses, but his lawyers successfully argued there’s no evidence of risk, and the judge agreed, adjourning the case until September. Sidoti remains defiant, vowing to fight the charge and uphold his belief in the rule of law and his own innocence.
