Dianne Muller, the ex-fiancee of convicted drug trafficker Glenn Agliotti, testified that Agliotti began to believe his friendship with Selebi placed him above the law.
"Agliotti started to believe that he was larger than life. That he was bigger than anyone. That he could do anything. That the law could not touch him because he was friends with the accused," the slender blonde told the High Court in Johannesburg.
'He left with the bank bag in his hand' Earlier, Muller told how she had packed R110 000 in cash for Selebi at offices in Midrand which Agliotti also used.

"I counted R110 000 and put it in a white bank bag. I took it down to the boardroom and put the bag in front of Agliotti. He put his hands on the bag and slid it across to Jackie Selebi and said, 'Here you go, my China'.
"About 20 or 30 minutes later Glenn shouted Selebi is leaving. I waved goodbye and he [Selebi] had the bank bag in his possession."
During cross-examination, Muller reiterated she saw Selebi leaving with the bank bag.
"He left with the bank bag in his hand."
'Glenn told me he handed over the money' Muller said she confronted Agliotti about the payment.
"I had a discussion with Agliotti and I said that I felt it was not really the way for things to happen, that the national police commissioner was to be paid off by Glenn Agliotti."
Asked by prosecutor Gerrie Nel if she had taken any steps to report the matter, Muller replied: "How do you report something to the police when their boss is the person implicated?"
Muller said Agliotti would place payments allegedly destined for Selebi in envelopes marked with the initials JS.
