Former top cop Jackie Selebi allegedly tried to blackmail former prosecutions boss Vusi Pikoli into dropping charges against Billy Rautenbach.
Jackie Selebi will start day two of his graft trial on Tuesday, with the state expected to call convicted drug trafficker Glen Agliotti.
Jackie Selebi says he is being prosecuted because he became privy to damning information on former NPA prosecutors Bulelani Ngcuka and Vusi Pikoli.
Axed NPA boss Vusi Pikoli has accused former police chief Jackie Selebi of trying to "deflect attention away from the serious charges he is facing".
Opposition parties welcomed the court ruling on Tuesday barring Jacob Zuma from appointing a successor to axed prosecutions chief Vusi Pikoli.
President Jacob Zuma on Tuesday said he had noted the court order granting an interim interdict in favour of axed prosecutions boss Vusi Pikoli.
President Jacob Zuma has been interdicted by a Pretoria judge from making a permanent appointment of a National Director of Public Prosecutions.
The Pretoria High Court is expected to rule on Tuesday whether President Jacob Zuma may appoint a new National Director of Public Prosecutions.
The High Court in Pretoria is likely to hear an urgent application by axed prosecutions boss Vusi Pikoli on Thursday, his attorney said on Monday.
Lawyers for axed prosecutions boss Vusi Pikoli were filing an urgent interdict in Pretoria on Thursday to prevent the appointment of his successor.
Court papers are expected to be filed shortly to prevent the appointment of a successor to axed NPA boss Vusi Pikoli, his lawyers said on Wednesday.
The presidency has informed axed NPA boss Vusi Pikoli that his permanent successor will be appointed despite Pikoli challenging his dismissal.
President Jacob Zuma said on Wednesday reports that he was not free to appoint a new NPA boss were false.
Court papers have revealed that ex-president Thabo Mbeki did try to delay the arrest of suspended police National Commissioner Jackie Selebi.
Former president Thabo Mbeki and former justice minister Brigitte Mabandla have filed affidavits in support of the decision to fire NPA Vusi Pikoli.
The leaking of the Browse “Mole” report arguably did more than any other event to tilt the balance of forces between the Scorpions and their foes.
Vusi Pikoli’s legal team has ”reluctantly” given the president two more weeks to reply to charges that he was fired for political reasons.
