Paul O’Sullivan’s ultimatum to Masemola as top cops go down in corruption crack-down

Loading player...
Forensics for Justice founder Paul O’Sullivan has made it his mission to go after corrupt cops. In this interview with BizNews, he speaks about the ultimatum he has issued to Police Chief Fannie Masemola to suspend all the top cops arrested and charged last week by today or face an urgent High Court case. He also wants the Commissioner gone. “I’ve made it clear to Masemola…that I'm going for him. I want him out. I want him gone.” Speaking in the wake of the arrests of Crime Intelligence (CI) boss General Dumisane Khumalo and other top cops, O’Sullivan describes how the criminal justice system has been infiltrated by the underworld - and how it is being “played” by dirty cops and dirty lawyers. Meanwhile, O’Sullivan has spent at least R15-million of his own money on exposing dirty cops. He has had a hand in the downfall of two commissioners of police, one head of The Hawks, 15 generals and 17 brigadiers over the past 20 years. “…if you're a dirty cop and you're out there, my warning to you is watch this space because if you're a dirty cop and you're out there, we're coming for you.”
