Judgment in former National Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi corruption's case will be delivered on Thursday in the High Court in Johannesburg.


Selebi faced charges of corruption relating to up to R1,2-million he allegedly received from various people in return for favours, as well as charges of defeating the ends of justice.

During closing arguments earlier this month, State prosecutor Gerrie Nel said that the State had proven Selebi's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, while defence counsel Jaap Cilliers sought to cast doubt on evidence led by Glen Agliotti, the State's main witness.


Nel said that although Selebi had ensured that no paper trail existed of financial kickbacks that he received from Agliotti and the Kebble mining family, the State had nevertheless proven his guilt.

Cilliers tore apart evidence led by Agliotti, saying that the State had based its entire case on an "unscrupulous, dangerous man" and "false allegations against Selebi".


Selebi pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.
