Former NSW Labor mining minister Ian Macdonald, party powerbroker Eddie Obeid and his son Moses have been found to have engaged in corrupt conduct, with the corruption watchdog referring them for possible criminal charges.
But former roads minister Eric Roozendaal is off the hook, with the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) finding there was insufficient evidence to show he knew of arrangements that led to him benefiting from a discounted car.
Following the largest corruption investigation in NSW history, ICAC on Wednesday handed down three reports.
Commissioner David Ipp was scathing of the conduct of Mr Obeid and Mr Macdonald.
He called Mr Macdonald an "unsatisfactory witness" who gave "deliberately untrue evidence".
Mr Obeid was "an aggressive witness and seemed to be more concerned with imposing his will on the proceedings than simply telling the truth," Mr Ipp said.
The commissioner also said that Moses Obeid was "willing to lie or mislead whenever it suited his purpose".
He was found to have given four counts of false testimony.
