A NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiry has begun into allegations a former RailCorp employee and his sister solicited more than $1.5 million.
Joseph Camilleri was in charge of maintenance contracts for the rail agency while his sister, Carmen Attard, worked for the state's Department of Family and Community Services.
The inquiry has heard the pair used the money to help Mr Camilleri's daughter Jessica Camilleri who had massive gambling debts.
