Oupa Sindane pretende declararse inocente de los cargos de extorsión

El empresario y propietario de taxis Oupa Sindane afirma que planea declararse inocente de los cargos de extorsión y blanqueo de capitales. Solicita la libertad bajo fianza en el Tribunal de Magistrados de Kwaggafontein, al este de Johannesburgo, junto con tres coacusados.

Sindane, de 50 años, se entregó a la policía el viernes por la mañana. El Estado sostiene que intentaba huir, pero que no tuvo más remedio que entregarse. Su equipo de defensa argumenta que se entregó voluntariamente y que no sabía que era un sospechoso buscado.

Sindane declaró ante el tribunal que permanecer bajo custodia perjudicaría su negocio y a sus empleados. Él y sus coacusados, Joe Sibanyoni, Daniel Masilela y Phillimon Msiza, niegan haber participado en los presuntos delitos.

La solicitud de libertad bajo fianza continúa ante el tribunal.
