Cape Town - Former police colonel Chris Prinsloo, who was involved in the illegal gun trade, has been sentenced to 18 years’ imprisonment for a string of charges, including corruption, racketeering and theft.

The former Gauteng top cop was arrested as part of a lengthy investigation into gangsters and the illegal gun trade in the Western Cape last year.

He entered into a plea agreement with the State at the Bellville Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
