South Africa’s former police chief Kgomotso Phahlane, already accused of corruption, has appeared in court in Pretoria for another criminal case — this time, with three senior officers linked to Crime Intelligence.
Former acting national police commissioner Kgomotso Phahlane arrives at the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Wednesday. According to the National Prosecuting Authority, Phahlane and his five co-accused “face charges of fraud, corruption, theft, and contravention of the Public Finance Management Act pertaining to two police tenders issued in 2016, with an estimated value of R54-million.”The group is expected back in the dock next month.
“On the contrary, the rule of law is the most important protection of the weak against the whims of the powerful, and it is what stands between us and tyranny.”Some of the charges the accused face related to software called Daedalus which “made it impossible for investigators to get call records from cellphone providers”.
had informed him of an alleged “security threat” at the Nasrec conference — which led to the attempted procurement of the grabber.
