Corruption Latest: Richard Mdluli fails to have judge recused The Investigating Directorate has raised concern that Richard Mdluli has allegedly been employing delaying tactics ahead of his trial. Former Crime Intelligence boss, Richard Mdluli, filed an application on Tuesday for the recusal of Judge Bert Bam in the Pretoria High Court, where he is facing charges of fraud, corruption and theft, related to the police’s secret slush fund. Investigating Directorate spokesperson Sindisiwe Twala said Bam had dismissed the application for his recusal, ruling that they were bordering on malafide and that their argument was without substance. Twala said the detailed judgment would be handed down next week.
