NPA: Serious high-profile cases in security sector already before court─── 11:30 Sat, 23 May 2020
The country's top prosecutor Hermione Cronjé said it's not true that they are doing nothing about their various high profile cases.
Cronjé, the head of the Investigating Directorate (ID) in the Office of the National Director of Public Prosecutions as well as National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) head Shamila Batohi, briefed Parliament on Friday.
Cronjé said they have serious high-profile cases that involve the security sector already before the court.
“It’s not true that nothing has happened. In the three focus areas that the ID has been working, we have firstly focused on the security sector. We have been working in the security sector, we have been working with the national commissioner on cases involving senior police officers who are still sitting and who are still employed by Saps. We have a number of those prosecutions on the court roll.”
