Media reports of arrest warrant for Police Commissioner unfounded – NPA
The National Prosecuting Authority’s (NPA’s) Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) on Tuesday refuted media reports that warrants of arrests have been issued for National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola, calling it “unfounded”.
According to the reports, Masemola and four crime intelligence officers have allegedly been accused of buying five properties, worth over R120-million, irregularly, through the South African Police Service’s Crime Intelligence Unit and without following official channels for the purchase through the Department of Public Works.
The reports claim that arrest warrants for the five accused were secured but needed sign off from President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The NPA’s IDAC said on Tuesday that it had noted the “numerous false articles” reporting on the allegations and that it had received media queries on the matter.
“IDAC maintains what it has repeatedly confirmed to the media: These are untrue allegations; no such warrants have been issued,” it said.
