Selebi In An Uncomfortable Place 2

Posted by Farrel Thu, 16 Nov 2006 20:13:00 GMT

The arrest of Glenn Agliotti in the muder of mining tycoon Brett Kebble and his previous arrest in a potential R250 million drug/cigarette smuggling operation puts national Police Commissioner in a very very uncomfortable place. Selebi after all did describe Agliotti as “my friend, finish and klaar” and admitted to receiving calls from Agliotti on the night Kebble was murdered.

The questions still surrounding the forensic investigation of the murder are even more troubling. How could Kebble’s car be released from police custody the very next day and be cleaned before forensic investigators had a chance to go over it?

This also puts Selebi’s attempt to put the NPA’s Scorpion’s under SAPS control in a new light. Both the SAPS and the NPA were investigating the murder but it was the Scorpions who made the arrrest.

    Nice piece – tying the attempt control the Scorpions into the mix wasn’t done in any of the only papers I read. But I get politics.za.net through the RSS feed – and I did not get this in my feed. I first it saw on Muti and when I investigated, noticed your Atom and RSS feeds aren’t the same.
