Oficial del EMPD detenido tras el testimonio del testigo K ante la Comisión Madlanga

Un oficial del EMPD ha sido detenido en relación con el presunto robo de metales y piedras preciosas valorados en 14 millones de rands en 2023. El arresto se produce tras el testimonio ofrecido por el testigo K ante la Comisión de Investigación Madlanga. Se espera que el oficial comparezca ante el tribunal el lunes.

La policía de Gauteng arrestó al oficial después de que el testigo K alegara ante la comisión que él y el subjefe suspendido del EMPD, Julius Mkhwanazi, conspiraron para llevar a cabo el robo en un apartamento en Killarney, Johannesburgo. La operación fue simulada como una acción policial que involucraba a la Dirección Independiente de Investigación Policial, al Equipo de Respuesta Táctica y al Equipo de Respuesta de Gauteng.

La periodista de la SABC, Chriselda Lewis, informó desde el lugar de los hechos en Benoni que el funcionario detenido está vinculado al robo descrito en el testimonio. La Comisión Madlanga continúa examinando asuntos relacionados.

El arresto tuvo lugar el mismo día en que la comisión celebró más audiencias, aunque esas sesiones se centraron en cuestiones distintas.
