ICAC witness Patricia Siu caught phoning brother-in-law to hide evidence during bathroom break
Updated
Dramatic scenes are unfolding at an ICAC hearing in Sydney after a witness was caught trying to hide evidence during a bathroom break.
Patricia Siu had admitted to faking two $5,000 donations to Labor at the direction of her boss, aspiring Labor candidate Jonathan Yee, before the public hearing adjourned for the day.
But the hearing was suddenly recalled and Ms Siu was accused by counsel assisting the inquiry of phoning her brother-in-law during a bathroom break and asking him to help her hide a folder of evidence from ICAC.
Ms Siu agreed and said she wanted to prevent her boss from getting into any more trouble.
She was ordered to hand over her phone and passwords.
There has been no explanation as to how the commission knew Ms Liu had made the call.
