Monday, June 26, 2023 | 1410 Views |

A senior Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) investigator, Jako Hubona claims that he was targeted and there was a ‘covert’ plan to assassinate him.

Spilling the beans on what happened behind the scenes of the alleged controversial ‘P100 billion money-laundering scheme’ now popularly known as the ‘Butterfly’ case, Hubona recently wrote a report to President Mokgweetsi Masisi.

In the report leaked to Mmegi, Hubona claims he was almost assassinated. He said at some stage, he received a call on December 12, 2019, from the current Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) acting boss, Tshepo Pilane warning him about a plot to kill him.
