Un agent de l'EMPD arrêté après le témoignage du témoin K à la commission Madlanga

Un agent de l'EMPD a été arrêté en lien avec le vol présumé de métaux et de pierres précieux d'une valeur de 14 millions de rands en 2023. Cette arrestation fait suite au témoignage du témoin K devant la commission d'enquête Madlanga. L'agent doit comparaître devant le tribunal lundi.

La police du Gauteng a arrêté l'agent après que le témoin K a allégué devant la commission qu'elle et le chef adjoint suspendu de l'EMPD, Julius Mkhwanazi, avaient comploté pour commettre le vol dans un appartement à Killarney, Johannesburg. L'opération a été présentée comme une intervention policière impliquant la Direction indépendante des enquêtes policières (IPID), l'équipe d'intervention tactique et l'équipe d'intervention du Gauteng.

La journaliste de la SABC, Chriselda Lewis, a rapporté depuis Benoni que le fonctionnaire arrêté est lié au vol décrit dans le témoignage. La commission Madlanga continue d'examiner les questions connexes.

L'arrestation a eu lieu le jour même où la commission tenait d'autres audiences, bien que ces sessions se soient concentrées sur des questions distinctes.
