Canada Bay Mayor Angelo Tsirekas has been dismissed with immediate effect, and disqualified from holding civic office for five years.
Local Government Minister Ron Hoenig confirmed the dismissal today after reaching the view that Mr Tsirekas could not continue in office in light of the evidence contained in ICAC’s Operation Tolosa report.
ICAC found that Mr Tsirekas had engaged in serious corrupt conduct leading to Mr Tsirekas’ suspension from 9th November.
Mr Hoenig said the potential prosecution or otherwise of a number of people mentioned in the ICAC report is a matter for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
