Top prosecutor faces suspension

Feb 3, 2012 | Chandrè Prince | 9 comments

A TOP corruption prosecutor was informed of her imminent suspension in what many believe to be a sinister ploy to remove her from a sensitive fraud investigation.

Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions advocate Glynnis Breytenbach was yesterday morning slapped with a warning letter by her bosses asking her to provide reasons why she should not be suspended.

Breytenbach, who has been responsible for several high-profile fraud convictions, heads the Pretoria office of the NPA's Specialised Commercial Crimes Unit and is central to sensitive matters currently being heard before the Special Commercial Crimes Court.

She had been in Cape Town consulting on a complex fraud case when the letter was delivered to her attorneys in Pretoria.

The NPA has refused to comment on Breytenbach's imminent suspension, but The Times newspaper says it relates to an alleged "abuse of power in the Kumba Iron Ore case".

A little bird whistled in my ear that a relative of Pres Zuma who is involved in a certain deal may be the reason.
