AS SENTENCING looms for rogue Crime Intelligence head Paul Scheepers after being convicted on a laundry list of charges relating to fraud, calls have been made for Helen Zille to “come clean” about her links to the dirty cop.

Recently, Scheepers was convicted by the Bellville Specialised Commercial Crimes court having faced charges of fraud, contraventions of the PSIRA (Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority) legislation, contravention of the Rica (Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-related Information Act) legislation and money laundering.

These included him having been in possession of illegal surveillance equipment without authority for such possession.

Former ANC MP and Western Cape provincial secretary, Faiez Jacobs, has called on Zille to acknowledge her links to Scheepers, who now faces direct imprisonment.
