Policial da EMPD é preso após depoimento da Testemunha K na Comissão Madlanga

Um policial da EMPD foi preso em conexão com o suposto roubo de metais e pedras preciosas avaliados em 14 milhões de rands em 2023. A prisão ocorre após o depoimento prestado pela Testemunha K na Comissão de Inquérito Madlanga. Espera-se que o oficial compareça ao tribunal na segunda-feira.

A polícia de Gauteng prendeu o oficial depois que a Testemunha K alegou na comissão que ela e o subchefe suspenso da EMPD, Julius Mkhwanazi, conspiraram para realizar o roubo em um apartamento em Killarney, Joanesburgo. A operação foi encenada como uma ação policial envolvendo a Diretoria Independente de Investigação Policial, a Equipe de Resposta Tática e a Equipe de Resposta de Gauteng.

A repórter da SABC, Chriselda Lewis, informou do local em Benoni que o oficial preso está vinculado ao roubo descrito no depoimento. A Comissão Madlanga continua a examinar questões relacionadas.

A prisão ocorreu no mesmo dia em que a comissão realizou outras audiências, embora essas sessões tenham se concentrado em questões distintas.
