The former MP for Wagga Wagga Daryl Maguire could face criminal charges after the Independent Commission Against Corruption recommended he be referred to the Director for Public Prosecutions over misuse of his office while a member of NSW parliament.
But it could take up to two years for the DPP to assess the case against Maguire and to assemble the evidence needed, as they cannot simply take the evidence collected during Icac hearings.
