Intelligence information from British law and order authorities had two years ago identified Cape Town harbour as a key shipment point of drugs being trafficked into the UK by a syndicate led by Glenn Agliotti.
In 2004 British intelligence alerted South African authorities that the Agliotti syndicate intended shipping three containers filled with cocaine from Cape Town.
This sensitive information was allegedly leaked to Agliotti by suspended Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi.
The commissioner allegedly also informed Agliotti that British authorities suspected him of drug trafficking and had over a period been monitoring his activities.
The startling revelation is contained in the report compiled by an independent panel appointed to review criminal charges against Selebi.
