Mokgoro inquiry: Mzinyathi forced to withdraw charges against Mdluli
30 January 2019
North Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Sibongile Mzinyathi has told the Mokgoro inquiry that he was pushed into a corner and forced to agree to the provisional withdrawal of charges against former Crime Intelligence boss Richard Mdluli.
Mdluli was facing charges of fraud, theft and corruption for allegedly pillaging the Crime Intelligence slush fund.
But the charges were withdrawn in 2011.
On Wednesday, the North Gauteng DPP gave his version of the events that led to the withdrawal of the charges.
