TimesLIVE reports that two senior members of the Hawks (Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation) and a former officer were arrested on Tuesday on charges of fraud and corruption related to appointments made in the specialised unit.
Hawks spokesperson Col Katlego Mogale said the members, stationed at the Silverton office, had been implicated in wrongful promotional appointments. She added that the senior officers and the former officer allegedly “misused their power and authority while discharging their duties as members of selection panels within the DPCI.” She reported that the investigation had been kick-started when irregularities were picked up at the North West Hawks office. The investigation spanned a number of provinces. The suspects, aged 48, 55 and 57 are expected to appear in the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court soon.
