South Africa ex-police boss jailed 15yrs

South Africa’s former police boss and ex-president of Interpol Jackie Selebi has been handed a 15-year jail sentence for graft. He is one of the high profile officials in the country to face justice for corruption. Selebi was convicted for receiving bribes from a drug lord last month.

He is a former leading anti-apartheid activist and well-connected in the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party.

Analysts said the conviction of Selebi – a former president of international police body Interpol – was a positive development for the country, showing it was ready to tackle its growing corruption problem.
