A lease for a multimillion-dollar waterfront building owned by taxpayers was signed over to a politically connected Sydney family after it retained a senior state government official in a secret arrangement.
The Kazals, a powerful family of eight brothers, took control of the lease over 100 George Street, in the heart of The Rocks, while secretly providing incentives to Andrew Kelly, the second-most senior official at the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority.
The waterfront property was the latest acquisition by the Kazals, who have built an empire stretching from Sydney to the Middle East, partly through their relationships with those in powerful positions.
