Documents submitted to the Special Investigating Unit and the public protector who are both looking into police chief Bheki Cele's 500-million rand deal to relocate his headquarters, conclude the deal was illegal.
The contract with businessman Roux Shabangu was exposed by a local newspaper late last year.
Cele denied playing any role in driving the leasing of the building.
However the state investigation reveals that Cele personally identified Sanlam Middestad as the building the SA Police Service's top brass and other units would move to.
The documents also state that the deal contravened the constitution, the Public Finance Management Act and Treasury regulations
