Forensic investigator, Paul O’Sullivan, says he does not believe that it is among the functions of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate allegations surrounding the President of another country.

President Cyril Ramaphosa in the National Assembly at the Good Hope Chambers in Cape Town for the tabling of the Presidency Budget Vote for 2022/23.President Cyril Ramaphosa in the National Assembly at the Good Hope Chambers in Cape Town for the tabling of the Presidency Budget Vote for 2022/23.

His comment follows the Democratic Alliance’s DA leader John Steenhuisen says Ramaphosa must come clean on the details of the alleged robbery of millions in foreign currency at his Phala Phala farm in Limpopo.O’Sullivan says the FBI does not typically interfere in the affairs of other nations. “I think they have overstepped their mark. Unfortunately, we have got party politics going on here. If one believes a crime has been committed, there are ways of having those crimes investigated without calling in somebody like the FBI.”

“It’s not the function of the FBI to interfere in the running of another country. I know in the past the CIA has interfered in the affairs of many countries but it is not the function of the FBI to investigate the president of another country unless that directly impacts on the US,” says O’Sullivan.

Some of us know that.

Bo tsenwa fela ko Steenhuisen

I might not no the law but I think FBI might have rights because of US dollars hence lot of donations/sponsors to this country is from US. This money might have been intended for a particular purpose from US and our SAPS or law enforcement are reluctant to investigate their boss

Amen. Our PP Mkhwebane should be investigating.

Gqii!! Dog owner ziyakhala.

What has he himself have found? FBI can just help us with the source.

Exactly! For what reasons do we have investigation Police within the country? Will it not just going to steer up some conflict?

He must ask local law enforcement for none action against Ramaphosa

He is entitled to believe whatever he likes we don't care

What he believes does not matter at all.

The US currency gets smuggled out right under the FBI's nose. Prompting possible forex criminality spilling over into other countries. Surely the FBI must be bothered. Let Our_DA do their job, this country needs all the help available.

Ever heard of the 1) Foreign Corrupt Practice Act? (FCPA) 2) Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, driven by the Money Laudering and Asset Recovery Section(MLARS) Use of USD in corruption/illegal acts is not frowned upon by FBi /SS.

Are you referring to this dick

EFF is marching for jobs in NC, in a country where youth unemployment is at record high

His opinion does not matter in this case. He is Cyril Ramaphosa's close friend.

What are Paul o Sullivan's qualifications?

Well they have a history together.

Agreed. But the 'storing' of so many USD?

VusiSambo Ai John! 🙈

Even if they money laundering dollar's?

VusiSambo This guy is full of nonsense

VusiSambo They will not be investigating allegations around Cyril, but the possible laundering of their currency on foreign soil..Thats all Our_DA said...

VusiSambo Because he's talking nonsense

Tell this to that criminal tyengeni1954

Where is Paul O’Sullivan’s Detailed report on ABSA / Eskom’s laundering? Nothing Transactions Flagged?!!!

It is his believe not the U.S and other institutions.

Allow the process to unfold please

Damn hell it is!

Libya, Iraqi, Syria, Iran, Russia, DRC, Sudan, South Sudan....

If he things that way then he must pick up a phone and wake up this woman to do her job before South Africans help her. We want this Criminal gone soon.

Our_DA should know this .. but hey anything for headlines

Gaddafi would disagree with Paul

He's a friend or Ramaphosa so there's no way He can be objective on this matter
