"THE New South Wales corruption watchdog has recommended consideration of criminal charges against another 10 people over bribery and fraud at RailCorp involving millions of dollars.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) today handed down its third and fourth reports from its lengthy inquiry into bribery and fraud within the state-owned corporation.
The first two reports, released last month, asked for criminal charges to be considered against six people who are collectively accused of scamming millions of dollars from RailCorp.
The investigation had 'raised a significant number of corruption issues' across all areas, ICAC said.
Instead of making recommendations about RailCorp now, it would instead canvass all the corruption issues in its final report due out later this year, it said.
Today it made corruption findings against former RailCorp employees Allan Walker, Kevin Dulhunty, Paul Sventek, Ivan Stanic and eight contractors - Adam Azzopardi, William Kuipers, Michael Napier, Matthew Napier, Eric Kreichichwost, Paul Szoboszlay, Nick Kouraos and Mark Palombo.
All but Mr Sventek and Mr Kreichichvost have been recommended to be considered for prosecution.
'The ICAC will seek the advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) with respect to the prosecution of the above individuals for various criminal offences,' the watchdog said."
