Labor officials accused of attempting to convince witnesses to lie about disguised political donations may be a risk of interfering with evidence, a court has heard.
Former NSW Labor MP Ernest Wong and restaurant manager Jonathan Yee have been accused of carrying out a scheme to circumvent political donations laws during now-premier Chris Minns's campaign for the seat of Kogarah ahead of the 2015 state election.
They have been charged with knowingly giving false evidence to the NSW corruption watchdog, and procuring false testimony from witnesses of its investigation.
