ALERT: Ipid arrests 2 generals in r86m tender fraud case: IPIDArrests
JOHANNESBURG - Less than 12 hours after Robert McBride’s term in office ended, Eyewitness News can reveal that police watchdog Ipid has arrested two generals in connection with tender fraud and corruption worth an estimated R86 million.
The pair will face charges relating to procurement irregularities in the purchase of emergency lights for police vehicles. One of the suspects, whose identity is known to EWN, has been the subject of an Ipid investigation for the last two years. In November, former Gauteng provincial commissioner Deliwe de Lange appeared in court alongside three other senior officers and a police supplier. The two new suspects will be added to that case on Friday morning.
