Un magistrado decidirá este viernes sobre la solicitud de libertad bajo fianza de Fadiel Adams

El líder del National Coloured Congress, Fadiel Adams, aguarda la decisión de un magistrado sobre su solicitud de libertad bajo fianza tras una audiencia en el Tribunal de Magistrados de Pinetown. El fallo está previsto para el viernes 15 de mayo de 2026 en el caso que alega interferencia en la investigación del asesinato de 2017 del exsecretario general de las Juventudes del ANC, Sindiso Magaqa.

Adams fue arrestado el 5 de mayo de 2026 por el Equipo de Tareas sobre Asesinatos Políticos en la Villa Parlamentaria. Enfrenta cargos de fraude y obstrucción a la justicia por supuestas visitas a prisiones y contactos con testigos en la investigación sobre Magaqa.

En la audiencia de fianza del 13 de mayo, los fiscales argumentaron que Adams representaba un riesgo para la administración de justicia, citando visitas a prisiones a finales de 2024 y principios de 2025, así como llamadas a un testigo a principios de mayo. El abogado defensor Yuri Gangai presentó una declaración jurada de Adams negando cualquier mala conducta y afirmando que actuó dentro de sus funciones de supervisión parlamentaria.

Se espera que la magistrada Wendalyn Robinson dicte su resolución el 15 de mayo. Adams sostiene que no existe riesgo de fuga y se declarará inocente de todos los cargos.
