Pauw has alleged that state security agencies are misusing state funds to the highest extent.
Pauw says the agency wants to take legal action because it doesn’t want the truth to be known.
“Crime Intelligence has a budget as a secret fund of around R600 million a year. Nobody audits that, it’s a black hole in which they pour your money and now they are saying to me: we’re going to take you to court.”
Exclusive Books CEO Benjamin Trisk says sales have been through the roof.
