Former President Ian Khama will sue an investigator for defamation and perjury after he was implicated in a corruption scandal, accusing him of syphoning-off money to fund terrorism during his reign.

Khama revealed this after a forensic investigation found allegations against him, South African businesswoman, Bridgette Motsepe, ex-spy chief, Isaac Kgosi and spy agent, Welheminah ‘Butterfly’ Maswabi were fabricated.

On Wednesday, Omnia Strategy LLP, an international law firm founded by Cherie Blair and Alaco Ltd, a leading business intelligence and investigations firm, released the findings of their forensic investigation titled ‘Project Monarch: Flies & Lies’.
