A class action law suit has been launched by families of those killed and maimed by guns smuggled to gangsters by cops. Former top cop Major-General Jeremy Vearey has given BizNews the inside story of the investigation codenamed Project Impi, which was eventually disbanded after interference from top brass. About 1 700 people were killed with those firearms over a seven-year period. General Vearey has given an affadavit to the law firm acting pro bono for the families of the victims.

He calls for the Central Firearm Registry to be removed from the authority of the police. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
