Breaking news: Paul O’Sullivan in a much bigger trouble now
Parliament’s case against forensic investigator Paul O’Sullivan has been referred to the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, commonly known as the Hawks.
Last week, Parliament laid a criminal charge against O’Sullivan for walking out of the ad hoc committee investigating allegations of police corruption.
O’Sullivan is charged with contempt of Parliament for his walkout, as well as for threatening Minister Senzo Mchunu’s chief of staff, Cedric Nkabinde, who testified against him.
The committee met on Monday to discuss its program and received an update from legal advisor Andile Tetyana.
“Importantly, the referral of this case to the Hawks makes it clear that the acts O’Sullivan committed, in respect of the Nkabinde incident and the walkout, have been classified as national priority offences, presumably because they took place in Parliament,” Tetyana stated.
