A 2008 video recording between convicted drug trafficker Glenn Agliotti and police and NIA representatives has provisionally been admitted as evidence in the corruption trial of former top cop Jackie Selebi.

"The video evidence of the interview which took place on January 7, 2008 is preliminarily ruled to be admissible," Judge Meyer Joffe said.

"It can be dealt with again during arguments," he added, meaning that the evidential weight of the recording had not yet been determined.

The court then adjourned to set up viewing equipment.

The recording is apparently of Agliotti, police commissioner Mulangi Mphego and the National Intelligence Agency's Arthur Fraser discussing the investigation into Selebi.
