National Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi has been charged on three counts of corruption and one of defeating the ends of justice in the Randburg Regional Court today.
He also faced an alternate charge of receiving an unauthorised gratification "by a person who is party to an employment relation".
Selebi was not asked to plead, but his lawyer Jaap Cilliers said he intended pleading not guilty.
According to the charge sheet a relationship developed between Selebi and Brett Kebble murder-accused Glenn Agliotti.
They met in 1990 when Agliotti wanted to enter into a business deal with the African National Congress and held discussions at ANC headquarters while Selebi was social welfare representative of the party.
During those meetings Selebi said he was unable to pay medical bills for the treatment of his son and Agliotti gave him money for this. Agliotti was appointed as a police informer with Selebi’s knowledge in February 2002.
Agliotti had in the meantime also proposed a fundraising drive for mentally challenged children, with the participation of the police.
Selebi agreed to this. During the fundraising period Selebi also allegedly said he needed money and Agliotti gave him money.
According to the indictment Selebi would phone with requests for money and it would be given to him.
Agliotti allegedly also bought clothes for Selebi, his wife and his sons.
When it became known that Selebi and Agliotti were friends, Kebble and John Stratton, a Kebble adviser, arranged to meet Selebi to "buy his favour" .
In August/September 2004 Selebi was allegedly given R30,000 by Agliotti to fund a dinner on his election as Interpol head.
Selebi also allegedly arranged to influence the investigation of Billy Rautenbach, also a mining entrepreneur.
Agliotti allegedly paid US30,000 for this, a day or two after Kebble’s death.
The case was postponed to June 26.
