The business plans of disgraced politician Daryl Maguire are in ruins, with one prospective partner recently found dead in a swimming pool, while another is in debt to Chinese business figures featured in a corruption inquiry.
Daryl Maguire hoped to go into business with his long-term associate Jimmy Liu once he left politics. However, Mr Liu's business has since unravelled spectacularly, as has Mr Maguire's reported five-year romance with the Premier. Asked by counsel assisting the inquiry this week if he was still in a relationship with Ms Berejiklian, Mr Maguire quipped, "Not after this I wouldn't be."The Shanghai-born Mr Liu, 63, recently gave evidence to the ICAC that his agri-business company United World Enterprises paid for Mr Maguire to travel to China.
Mr Maguire was heard on phone tapes talking to Ms Berejiklian about UWE but the Premier claimed she knew nothing about the company. "If I understood that anything wrong was going to take place, of course I would have taken action but can I make clear I had no idea what UWE meant," she told the inquiry.
