Victorian MPs and two councillors received large amounts of money and political donations to advance the interests of the millionaire property industry identity John Woodman, an anti-corruption investigation has found.

The state’s Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission found two City of Casey councillors, Geoff Ablett and Sameh Aziz, accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in undeclared payments to further Woodman’s interests within council processes.
