StateCaptureInquiry: Crime intelligence classified documents to foil Ipid probes, Zondo hears
Johannesburg - The Zondo commission has heard how the South African Police Service crime intelligence division would often declare documents as classified in an attempt to prevent investigations by the Independent Police Investigative Directorate .
McBride gave an overview of the issues he faced as the head of Ipid and attempts to weaken the organisation. “Any request to crime intelligence, except for certain cases, is met with resistance. Very often crime intelligence will resort to the specious classification of documents in contravention of policy standards which prohibits the classification of documents to cover up maladministration,” said McBride.
“It is not isolated it is the general pattern and including cooperation. There is what we call an Ipid blue curtain. For a long time, there was no oversight within the police service and as a result, oversight is met with huge resistance especially within crime intelligence. Even before my appointment as Ipid head, there is evidence where there had been rampant abuse and impunity and oversight in the use of the secret service account of crime intelligence.
