DPP tight-lipped on Iguana findings

The New South Wales Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is refusing to comment on speculation it is about to release the findings of an investigation into the Iguanas nightclub dispute involving Federal MP Belinda Neal and her husband, state MP John Della Bosca.

The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that the office of the DPP is expected to deliver its findings as early as Friday, but the couple says they have had no advice on the matter.

NSW police investigated allegations the couple bullied and threatened staff at the Iguanas nightclub at Gosford in June, as well as contradictory statutory declarations written by those involved.

The matter was later referred to the NSW and Commonwealth DPP.

Since then, Mr Della Bosca has repeatedly said he expects to be cleared and returned to the ministry in the education and industrial relations portfolios.

Mr Della Bosca was stripped of his portfolios pending the outcome of the investigation.

NSW Premier Morris Iemma has always said Mr Della Bosca will be reappointed if cleared by the DPP.
