Ex-South African Police Chief Guilty of Link to Organized Crimes

By Our Correspondent

A South African court convicted the country’s former police chief of corruption on Friday. Jackie Selebi was found guilty of having links to organised crime and accepting bribes worth 156,000 US dollars. The 60-year-old – also a former president of Interpol – denied the charges and claimed evidence against him had been fabricated. Selebi faces at least 15 years in jail and is expected to appeal against the ruling. He will remain free until 14 July, when he is due to be sentenced.
