Cape Town - Former top cop Arno Lamoer and his co-accused may not face any jail time for a fraud and corruption conviction.

Prosecutor Billy Downer said the State would ask for a correctional supervision sentence, as opposed to a custodial sentence, as agreed upon with Lamoer’s defence team.

Downer said the State had informed the defence and the accused that the minimum sentence of 15 years would not be applicable in this matter.

However, Western Cape High Court presiding Judge Rosheni Allie reminded the two parties involved that whether or not the minimum sentence was imposed, remained at the court’s discretion.
