Selebi 'had corrupt relationship'
Johannesburg - An application for ex top cop Jackie Selebi's acquittal on corruption charges was dismissed in the High Court in Johannesburg on Monday.Judge Meyer Joffe made the pronouncement after Selebi's counsel Jaap Cilliers said he was entitled to an acquittal as the State had failed to prove his guilt."I have carefully considered heads of argument by the defence and state... Application for discharge is refused," said Joffe.In regard to arguments that the former police chief did not have a fair trial, Joffe said such an argument constituted a separate application."I hold that such an application should not be determined at this stage.

Selebi saak sál voortgaan
2010-04-12 13:32
Die verhoor van die voormalige polisiekommissaris, Jackie Selebi sál voortgaan. Dit volg nadat die Suid-Gautengse hooggeregshof 'n aansoek deur Selebi van die hand gewys het om die saak weens 'n tekort aan bewyse van die rol te skrap. Selebi se verdediging het aangevoer dat die staat nie genoeg bewyse het om hom aan korrupsie en regsverydeling skuldig te bevind nie. Regter Meyer Joffe sê hy het die argumente deeglik oorweeg. Hy sê die vraag oor of Selebi 'n regverdige verhoor kry, sal aan die einde van die verhoor bepaal word. Selebi se regspan moet nou met sy verdediging begin, nadat die staat sy saak vroeër afgesluit het.
