DA welcomes reinstatement of Mdluli charges
13 March 2015
The DA welcomes the reinstatement of some of the charges against disgraced Crime Intelligence Head, Richard Mdluli, by the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), Mxolisi Nxasana.
This comes after the Supreme Court of Appeal ruling this afternoon to reinstate charges against Mdluli after they had been dropped. The Court also stated that "action should be taken against the NPA's deputy head Nomgcobo Jiba, and its serious commercial crimes unit head advocate Lawrence Mwrebi, for their part in dropping charges against him."
The NPA will be pursuing Mdluli for fraud and corruption while still the active head of the South African Police Service (SAPS) Crime Intelligence unit.
The Mdluli saga has compromised the integrity of a number of key state institutions and has left the reputation of the National Prosecuting Authority in tatters.
