A docket has been opened against Jacques Pauw - NPA
Johannesburg – While the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) confirmed to News24 on Friday that it has a docket in the case against investigative reporter Jacques Pauw – there is apparent confusion between the NPA and the Hawks over who currently has it in their possession.
Gauteng NPA spokesperson Phindi Louw-Mjonondwane told News24 that they were in possession of a docket against Pauw.
"Yes, it [the docket] is in the process of being referred to the Hawks with a list of investigations," she told News24.
"The decision [to prosecute] will be taken after the investigations have been completed. They will bring back the docket for a decision," she said.
Louw-Mjonondwane did not divulge what was contained in the docket, but instead referred News24 to the Hawks.
