Ex-Interpol man denies corruption

Pretoria, 05 Oct-(ANA)-South Africa's former chief of police Jackie Selebi has pleaded not guilty at the start of his corruption trial.

Mr Selebi resigned as head of Interpol after he was charged with having links to organised crime and accepting bribes worth 1.2m rand ($157,00, £98,000).

He will be the most senior member of the ruling African National Congress to face corruption charges.

Charges against ANC leader Jacob Zuma were dropped ahead of his election as the country's president in April. (ANA)
