# Suspended Ekurhuleni Metro Police deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi has denied charges of fraud, corruption and defeating the ends of justice in the Boksburg Magistrate’s Court in Gauteng.

Mkhwanazi’s lawyer, Peter Wilkins, said during the bail application detention should not serve as punishment before trial:
