Glamorous property heiress Ashlyn Nassif has admitted to providing Westpac bank with false information to help her father obtain a $150m loan to construct one of Sydney\u2019s biggest property towers.<\/p>\n
Nassif, the daughter of fugitive property developer Jean Nassif, on Wednesday fronted Burwood Local Court where her lawyer entered a guilty plea to one count of publishing false or misleading material to obtain advantage.<\/p>\n
A further charge of dishonestly obtaining financial advantage etc by deception was withdrawn.<\/p>\n
The matter was set down for a disputed facts hearing on September 7, when Nassif is expected to also face sentencing.<\/p>\n
The charges related to allegations that the solicitor provided falsified documents to meet a $10.5m pre-sale condition for three towers of the Skyview apartments complex in Castle Hill in Sydney\u2019s northwest.<\/p>\n
Nassif was alleged to have submitted fake contracts to Westpac over three months in 2021 to obtain a $150m loan to fund about 900 apartments.<\/p>\n
The $900m apartment tower complex was built by Jean Nassif\u2019s development company Toplace, which collapsed in 2023.<\/p>\n
Nassif was suspended from practising law by the NSW Law Society after the fraud charges were laid in 2023.<\/p>\n
Jean Nassif is believed to be on the run in Lebanon and while police have not charged him, they have issued a warrant for his arrest.<\/p>\n
