Magosi is responsible for my humiliation –Katlholo :: Mmegi Online

Former Director General (DG) of the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC), Tymon Katlholo says spy chief, Peter Magosi, is responsible for the defamation statements that were uttered against him. Katlholo said the statements that were uttered by the officers responsible were working under Magosi's control and influence.

He says that the Director General of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS), Magosi, is absolved from liability was untenable because, as the superior he remains accountable for wrongful acts committed by DIS employees within the scope of employment. He was surrounded by controversy before his suspension in June 2022 for daring to investigate the DIS boss, Magosi.

“Any assertion that immunity, prescription, or procedural technicalities absolve Magosi from liability is untenable. The Attorney General as legal representative of Magosi cannot escape responsibility merely because they are not the direct actors,” said Katlholo.
