Shane de Kauwe tells corruption inquiry he was instructed by Toplace laywer Sharangan Maheswaran to investigate minister David Elliott

A private investigator says he was asked to surveil a Liberal minister and provided secret recording devices to a fugitive property developer, the New South Wales anti-corruption watchdog has heard.

Shane de Kauwe told the Independent Commission Against Corruption (Icac) on Tuesday he had installed a static camera on a building to record a person connected with the former NSW Liberal MP David Elliott.
