"Former S. Africa police chief found guilty of corruption" by New York Times | July 3, 2010
JOHANNESBURG — Jackie Selebi, the former police commissioner of South Africa and once a signal figure in international law enforcement, was found guilty of corruption here yesterday.
The verdict ended a grueling trial that began last October. Selebi was accused of providing favors to a drug trafficker in exchange for gifts of about $160,000 and an array of designer clothing. The two men shopped together at high-fashion boutiques, though only one paid the bills.
For South Africa, in the midst of hearty self-congratulations for its able hosting of the World Cup, the verdict was a reminder of two problems that more often occupy the headlines: crime and public corruption....
Yeah, RUIN the PARTY, MSM!!
PFFFFT!!
