Ian Cameron opens the can of worms at Crime Intelligence…

Описание: The South African Police Service’s Crime Intelligence Division has been hit by one scandal after another. In this interview with BizNews, Ian Cameron, the Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, talks about the second sacking of the former Head of Crime Intelligence in the Western Cape; the luxury hotel bought for almost 23 million; the “tip of the iceberg” robbery of well over 1 million; the “strong” factional battle in which documents are strategically leaked to cast aspersions; the “chaotic politics”; the alleged links between certain Crime Intelligence officials of high rank and organised crime kingpins; and the lack of intelligence needed to “expose people in government that are involved” in extortion. Cameron also describes the horror findings of  committee members on oversight visits. “Some of these stations…even have squatters living in the garden of the police station.”  However, he does have praise for Police Minister Senzo Mchunu who “easily acknowledges faults and issues”.
