| Allegations of multimillion-dollar fraud and kickbacks for contracts at Botany Bay City Council will be examined at a public inquiry headed by NSW anti-corruption chief Megan Latham.
As the Independent Commission Against Corruption comes under sustained fire over its controversial inquiry into Crown Prosecutor Margaret Cunneen, SC, it has announced a new probe into allegations former Botany Bay Council chief financial officer Gary Goodman and other employees defrauded $4.2 million from the council using false invoices.
Public hearings will start on February 29 and are slated to run for three weeks.
The council said in a statement that it had "zero tolerance" for corruption and was "grateful for the ICAC's work in exposing this matter".
