DA expects more arrests in Crime Intelligence crackdown
The Democratic Alliance said on Thursday it expects more arrests to follow in the Crime Intelligence unit.
This follows the arrest of crime intelligence boss General Dumisani Khumalo amid allegations of graft.
Khumalo is the latest top police official to be nabbed by the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC).
The DA says it will undertake a watching brief on the matter.
Khumalo is expected to appear before the Pretoria Magistrate Court on Friday.
"In February of this year, the DA wrote to the Inspector General of Intelligence, Imtiaz Fazel after it was uncovered that Crime Intelligence allegedly spent R22.8 million on the purchase of a highly questionable commercial property in Berea, Durban and R22.7 million on a luxury boutique hotel in Pretoria North."
"Further, these purchases were authorised by Major General Lushaba as the CFO and Crime Intelligence head, Major-General Dumisani Khumalo." the DA said in a statement.
"These properties were purchased and seem to be just a tip of the iceberg which, being revealed threatens to sink crime intelligence once and for all."
Earlier this month General Philani Lushaba, the Chief Financial Officer of the Crime Intelligence division handed himself over to police, after it emerged that he lost his state issued firearm and laptop, he subsequently allegedly lied about the matter which lead to his arrest.
