‘Pisasale pressured me’

-

PAUL Pisasale’s former driver claims the ex-mayor contacted him to ask him to recant allegation­s he made regarding the use of council vehicles to visit massage parlours and brothels.

In a press release issued by Cairns MP Rob Pyne yesterday, former driver Stephen Potts said he would not be speaking to media due to “pressure” put on him by Pisasale.

It is understood Pisasale phoned Mr Potts and sent him text messages after it was revealed Mr Potts had told the Crime and Corruption Commission he had driven the then-mayor to massage parlours and brothels.

Mr Potts also alleged that he had been instructed to follow the vehicles of two developers to a Brisbane massage parlour and a legal brothel on the Gold Coast.

The developers denied entering the premises.
