The allegations of corruption against Askin were revived in 2008 when Alan Saffron, the son of the late Sydney crime boss Abe Saffron, published a biography of his father in which he alleged that Saffron had paid bribes to major public officials including Askin, former police commissioner Norman Allan, and other leading figures whom he claimed he could not name because they were still alive.

Throughout his life Saffron ( often dubbed " the Boss of the Cross " or " Mr Sin ") was accused of having masterminded a wide range of criminal activities including gambling, prostitution, drug dealing and " sly grog " sales, and to have co-ordinated a network of bribery and official corruption that ( according to his son Alan ) included former New South Wales Premier Robert Askin and Police Commissioner Norman Allan.

Although no evidence has yet surfaced to reliably link Saffron to Nielsen's disappearance, there are significant circumstantial connections — Saffron owned the Carousel club, where Nielsen was last seen, Saffron associate ( and Carousel manager ) Jim Anderson reportedly borrowed large sums from Frank Theeman, and Alan Saffron's 2008 book about his father claims that Theeman was one of several prominent Sydney business identities to whom Saffron lent money through a loan sharking operation, a claim which links to earlier reports that Theeman had tried to borrow money from Saffron to cover his ' loans ' to Jim Anderson.
