On January the 16th 2019, Botswana's former Directorate of Intelligence Services (DIS), Isaac Kgosi, was apprehended on arrival at the Gaborone’s Sir Seretse Khama Airport over tax evasion.

The feared former spy chief was welcomed back from his tour in Asia and the Middle East with the arrest as his wife and children silently watched.
