Johannesburg - When forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan appeared in the Kempton Park Magistrate's Court on Wednesday morning on an immigration case, the Hawks handed him a subpoena informing they were charging him with another matter.
The subpoena served is a sixth charge. News24 understands it is a case of alleged extortion involving Alberton African National Congress councillor Neil Diamond.
O'Sullivan and his assistant, attorney Sarah Jane Trent, were arrested in February for allegedly impersonating an Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) officer during their investigation into acting police commissioner Lieutenant-General Khomotso Phahlane.
His arrest, despite a court order which stated he could only be arrested through a subpoena informing him to be in court, was widely condemned.
Aside from the impersonation case, O'Sullivan faces four other charges which he is fighting in court: A Bramley case of fraud and extortion, a Rosebank case of kidnapping, the immigration case, and a Kempton Park case of extortion, fraud, and intimidation.
