Question NW152 to the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
04 March 2019 - NW152
Carter, Ms D to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
Has the National Prosecuting Authority initiated any investigation to ascertain whether funds used to pay for the family holiday of former Minister of Sport and Recreation, were the proceeds of money laundering, as recommended by the Public Protector; if not, why not; if so, what is the current status of the investigation?
Reply:
The National Director of Public Prosecutions has informed me that the matter was referred to the Head of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) for investigation. The National Prosecuting Authority will only be involved after the investigation has been finalized and the docket is forwarded to them.
