The NPA said the indictment against Selebi would be served on him depending on the outcome of Selebi's application, later on Friday, to stop the NPA from prosecuting him.
In an answering affidavit to Selebi's application to stop the National Prosecuting Authority from charging him, the acting National Director of Public Prosecutions Mokotedi Mpshe said the NPA was not planning to arrest Selebi.
"I have undertaken that if he is to be charged, he will not be arrested and an arrangement will be reached with his attorney for a date on which he has to appear in court," Mpshe said in the papers.
The NPA said the indictment against Selebi would be served on him depending on the outcome of Selebi's application, later on Friday, to stop the NPA from prosecuting him.
Mpshe said the charges relate to Selebi's relationship with murder accused Glen Agliotti and payments by Agliotti of more than R1.2-million to Selebi in 2004 and 2005.
It further states that the charges are based on Selebi turning a blind eye to Agliotti's involvement in transporting a large quantity of Mandrax, interventions Selebi made on behalf of Agliotti and confidential intelligence reports released from United Kingdom
authorities relating to drug trafficking activities of Agliotti. The NPA said Selebi tipped Agliotti off that he had been identified in the course of the Brett Kebble murder investigation.
Spokeswoman for Selebi's office, Director Sally de Beer, said she would not comment on the court proceedings. "It is a matter before the court, the police cannot comment on it.
Court proceeding are still in process," she said.
