Cape Town – Senior Western Cape police officers are being probed for corruption, racketeering and money-laundering, while a local businessman, known for his generosity, appears to be at the centre of the scandal.

According to the Sunday Times, Mohamed Salim Dawjee, a Goodwood businessman, is known for plying cops with gifts and money.  Dawjee is also linked to Western Cape commissioner Lieutenant-General Arno Lamoer who is currently being investigated by the Hawks.

This comes after national police commissioner General Riah Phiyega made headlines after an Independent Complaints Directorate investigation was launched into her alleged action in tipping off Lamoer over the investigation into him.
