In January 2008, Selebi was put on extended leave as national police commissioner, and resigned as president of Interpol, after he was charged with corruption in his native South Africa.[4]
He was replaced as national commissioner in July 2009 by Bheki Cele. Selebi was found guilty of corruption on 2 July 2010 [5] and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment on 3 August 2010.[6].
His appeal against his sentence was overturned by the Supreme Court of Appeal on the 2nd of December, 2011, after the court unanimously ruled against him.[7]
