Agliotti's ex takes the stand

2009-11-04 10:42

Johannesburg - Dianne Muller, the second State witness in the corruption case of former police head Jackie Selebi, took the stand in the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on Wednesday.

The petite, blonde ex-fiancée of convicted drug trafficker Glenn Agliotti, appeared nervous.

Muller was warned that, like Agliotti, she would receive indemnity from prosecution on various charges if she was found to have testified "frankly and honestly".

Judge Meyer Joffe read out the charges to Muller which included “corruption in relation to Selebi, as well as fraud, money laundering and theft in relationship to a Spring Lights account which slain mining magnate Brett Kebble allegedly used to make various payments".

Muller's testimony follows that of Agliotti who finished 11 days of testimony against his former friend on Tuesday.

Selebi is facing a charge of corruption and another of defeating the ends of justice in connection with at least R1.2m he allegedly received from Agliotti and others in return for favours.
