# Suspended head of Organised Crime, Richard Shibiri’s Johannesburg home was raided yesterday morning by a task team linked to the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. Sources say officers seized licensed firearms and electronic devices amid probes into alleged corruption, political interference and criminal syndicates within the SAPS. Shibiri is accused of corruption, taking bribes, and having illicit ties to alleged crime boss Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala. He is also accused of trying to sabotage the investigation into Vereeniging engineer Armand Swart’s murder and tipping off Matlala ahead of a police raid.
