The Hawks are investigating claims that Police Minister, Nathi Mthethwa used nearly R200,000 from a crime intelligence fund to make renovations to his Kwazulu-Natal home.
According to weekend media reports, Mthethwa tried to quash the investigation into himself and two other high ranking police officers accused of colluding with him.
The claims were made in a "top secret" police report given last month to acting police chief General Nhlan-hla Mkwa-nazi.
City Press reported that crime intelligence boss, Lt-Gen Richard Mdluli and finance head Major General Solly Lazarus were both named in the report.
According to the alleged police report, Mthethwa had extensive "security renovations" made to his house, after Mdluli conducted a risk assessment in May 2010.
The newspaper says the payments were approved by Lazarus, and were illegal, as the secret fund was meant to only finance counter-crime operations.
