Robert McBride implicated in criminal conduct in submission to police committee
14 February 2019
Lawyers for Robert McBride say it has been brought to their attention that the Portfolio Committee on Police has recently received submissions that seek to implicate the executive director of the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) in criminal conduct.
In a letter seen by News24 addressed to the police committee and dated February 14, McBride's lawyer, advocate Jac Marais, SC, states: "We understand that the submissions have been made by individuals that are the subject of ongoing IPID investigations under Mr McBride's supervision.
"Mr McBride denies any criminal conduct and has reason to believe that the submissions are aimed at improperly influencing the PCP’s (Portfolio Committee on Police) decision on the renewal of his appointment as the executive director of IPID," reads the letter.
