Paul O Sullivan draws Hogan Lovells blood: "I'm a hyena onto your kudu"

Loading player...
The SA office of global law firm Hogan Lovells is fragmenting after a sustained assault on them by forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan and British peer Peter Hain. The firm, accused by the activist duo of facilitating State Capture, is to shrink to a quarter of its former size, with 71 lawyers spinning off into an independent operation. But an unplacated O'Sullivan isn't buying the re-engineering exercise, warning that until the lawyers involved pay back hefty fees generated during the Zuma era, he will keep up the pursuit "like a hyena tracking a kudu...". On Rational Radio this week he also provided an update on the corrupt practices in South and East Africa by Italian multinational CMC di Ravenna; and on global consultancy Bain, sharing that Lord Hain is now applying pressure on both in the UK Parliament. O'Sullivan says SA owes Hain a huge debt. The same could be said about the fearless founder of Forensics for Justice. - Alec Hogg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
