Interpol's head 'to be charged'

Source: BBC

South Africa's police chief Jackie Selebi is to be charged with corruption and "defeating the ends of justice", state prosecutors say.

A court on Friday rejected an urgent application by Mr Selebi, who is also the president of Interpol, to try to stop the prosecution.

He is alleged to have received at least $170,000 (£90,000) from a convicted criminal over a five-year period.

Mr Selebi has been under investigation since last year and denies wrongdoing.
