Alan Winde receives a final report by the Western Cape Police Ombud on the alleged links between gangsters and SAPS in the Western Cape.

Western Cape Premier Alan Winde has expressed his disappointment at confirmation that some top police management were colluding with gangs, essentially assisting them in running their cartels unhampered by SAPS investigations.

Winde said in a statement on Monday, following the release of a final report by the Western Cape Police Ombud on the alleged links between gangsters and SAPS in the Western Cape.

According to Winde, the report which, was investigated by Police Ombud Retired Major General Oswald Reddy, found evidence that gang members had infiltrated the top management structures of the police service in the province, and were accessing key documents and strategies on crime fighting.
