PROOF: Police involved with criminals [no surprise]

[The_Right_Honourable_Brit]

The inner workings of a mafia-style criminal organisation involving senior policemen have been revealed in a damning dossier.

The 144-page document, containing affidavits by witnesses and informers, forms part of a criminal investigation by the Scorpions. It paints a chilling picture of how the syndicate — which is involved in the smuggling of drugs, cigarettes and cigars, human trafficking and the trafficking of stolen car parts, liquor and cellphones, has spread its tentacles into the South African Police Service.

Affidavits in the dossier make reference to National Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi; his “friend” and known underworld figure Glen Agliotti described in the document as the “Landlord”; and Clint Nassif, owner of Central National Security Group, a security company employed by mining magnate Brett Kebble.
__
It claims that the syndicate has been in operation for almost a decade and has made millions through closed corporations, foreign and local bank accounts, private security companies, customs officials at OR Tambo Airport, transport companies and policemen. It also contains:

# The names of police commissioners and directors;

# The names of more than a dozen former and serving policemen who have access to SAPS computer databases; and

# How some of them illegally confiscated large shipments of goods from importers they raided and these were later sold.

This is going to raise one hell of a big stink...

Sure is, somehow I'm starting/hoping to think that we are about to see a lot of criminals start going down as 2010 approaches, or maybe not but no harm in being optimistic. I still can't believe these "Police" men are actually part of a syndicate were they know people get shot and killed (hijackings anyone) just so they can get a bit of extra cash, it really disturbs me! I wonder how they face their families at night thinking that they might have been a victim as well or perhaps they drive around in armored vehicles.

HaNsA this remark

*our cops are dumb.....a cop in sa setup a camera to detect speeders etc. on the same camera which he setup he was filmed taking bribes. you dont get much dumber*

a beeg mistake to generalise like that.....and pretty much as dumb as the bribe taking cop! If this syndicate or whatever has gotten away with it for years how the heck can you say they are dumb? Pfft!

[kaspaas]

The current runaway crime situation supports this theory...

 

[stoke]

WooHooo ! FINALLY !
BURN you buggerz BURN.

Problem is .. who looks after us while they rifle through the SAPS ?
Spoze same as always .. us.

 

[Nod]

The age old question of who's policing the police ...

 

[kingrob]

This is really bad - I'm sure the syndicate will kill anyone who starts 'nosing around' to expose the truth.

 

[Syndyre]

If this doesn't bring down Selebi then we really have to start worrying about this country. Does anyone really think he wouldn't have resigned by now if this had happened in a lot of other places?

As of now it's just a rumour, he says he's open to investigation.

 

[Syndyre]

Not really just a rumour if search warrants have been issued etc.

 

[kingrob]

Jackie Selebi is just like the rest of them - once he gets a big appointment by the govt he thinks he is above the law.

*What's that dude from correctional services that was caught for drunken driving? (I heard he resigned before they fired his ass.)
*Was it not Sydney Mufamadi that got caught for speeding and tried to 'boss the cops around'?
*The senior advocate for the Scorpions taking bribes from Nigerians.

Ag, the list goes on and on and on...

Sick country, but I'm sure Angelo will come to their defense.

wow im not even shocked

maybe if the government paid our police officers more they would not take brides

i can tell you know if i was a traffic cop earning peanuts i would take bribs just to make ends meet

 

[Syndyre]

I'm sure Jackie Selebi is paid more than your average police constable.

 

[kingrob]

There's just one word to describe all the 'money-grabbing' politicians & police.

Greed.

Trevor Manuel came out the other day stating that police members are not underpaid. And that there is more than enough resources for the police. I lost most respect I had for the man right there and then.

Jackie Selebi should do the honorable thing by stop lying and resign. He's busted.

 

[kingrob]

If the ANC decides to fire all their corrupt politicians, there would be nobody left in parliament.

*Maybe Manto might still be there, selling beetroot at parliament's front door - she's too stupid to be corrupt.
