Paul O'Sullivan

lecturer

Paul O'Sullivan, a former police officer dismissed by then-Commissioner Jackie Selebi, appeared before the commission to testify about his decades-long involvement in crime-fighting as a private citizen. He described receiving an award from Scotland Yard in 1978 and later infiltrating a drug cartel to enable a seizure. He runs Forensics for Justice, an organisation sustained by his own business activities. O'Sullivan had previously complained about an appointment in Crime Intelligence's Human Resources division, and faced questions after being implicated by a witness in allegations of high treason and espionage. His testimony covered a range of standalone topics, which he presented with supporting documents.
