The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that two councillors in Sydney, Australia, are said to be under investigation for alleged misconduct following a trip they took to China with a developer whose projects they helped advance without declaring any conflict of interest.
A spokesperson for Georges River Council told The Herald that the pair, two of Hurstville’s former mayors, Labor’s Vince Badalati and the Liberal’s Con Hindi, have since been referred to the state’s corruption watchdog over the April 2016 trip to Tangshan in China’s Hebei province.
