State drops fraud charges against McBride
The NPA has dropped all charges against Independent Police Investigative Directorate head Robert McBride, and his two co-accused.
McBride and two subordinates - former director of investigations Matthew Sesoko, and former head of Ipid in Limpopo, Innocent Khuba - were being investigated by the Hawks' Crimes Against the State (Cats) unit for fraud and defeating the ends of justice.
They were accused of changing a rendition report to exonerate senior Hawks officials.
