The organiser of a "secret" New Year's Eve party at a Perth bar has been found guilty of breaching COVID-19 restrictions by allowing partygoers to dance and drink standing up while trying to hide what was happening from police.
Farooq Latief, 26, held the event at The George Bar in Perth's CBD on New Year's Eve in 2021, when the city was in the midst of strict COVID-19 restrictions because of concerns about an outbreak of the virus amongst backpackers.
