A former Ipswich deputy claims he did not know of the corruption which is alleged to have gone on in the city, denying allegations of incompetence and ignorance.
Paul Tully said he could not take responsibility for the alleged actions of two former mayors and chief executives prior to an ongoing corruption investigation.
The investigation has so far led to fifteen people with council ties, including former Mayors Andrew Antoniolli and Paul Pisasale, being charged with around 73 criminal offenses.
