Disgraced former politician Daryl Maguire's insistence he knew nothing of a conspiracy to create false visa applications for Chinese nationals has been rejected by a jury.
Maguire, the 67-year-old ex-partner of a former NSW premier, was found guilty in the Downing Centre District Court on Friday of conspiring to create the bogus applications for 10 Chinese nationals purporting to employ them at businesses in Wagga Wagga in the NSW Riverina region.
