O’Sullivan Faces New Slush-Fund Claim as Parliament Adjourns Inquiry After Two Days of Testimony

The committee probing police corruption plans further questioning following denials that he acted as a foreign agent.

Overview

  • O’Sullivan completed two days of in-person testimony under tight security, with proceedings paused due to a back injury and set to continue at a later date.
  • ActionSA’s Dereleen James alleged he received R100,000 from Crime Intelligence’s secret account and said the party will open a criminal case for alleged perjury.
  • O’Sullivan rejected the allegation, saying the 2006 payment was a reimbursement from the NPA’s Scorpions unit and not money from a Crime Intelligence slush fund.
  • Testifying under oath, he confirmed Irish, British and South African citizenships, denied being a foreign agent or linked to state security, and said his entities receive no foreign funding.
  • MPs challenged his attempt to limit answers on safety grounds and pressed him on contested claims involving IPID influence, senior police figures and a Krejčíř-linked gathering, leaving key disputes unresolved.
