Oficial da Hawks testemunha sobre mensagens de remessa de cocaína

Um tenente-coronel da Hawks detalhou supostas mensagens ligadas à apreensão de R286 milhões em cocaína durante depoimento em 14 de maio de 2026. As evidências foram apresentadas à Comissão de Inquérito Madlanga em relação a uma interceptação ocorrida em 2021 em Joanesburgo.

O tenente-coronel Nkoana Joseph Sebola disse à comissão que mensagens trocadas em uma plataforma criptografada mostravam preocupação entre os envolvidos na remessa. Uma mensagem dizia: “Se aqueles contêineres sumirem, você e eu estamos em sérios apuros.” Outra afirmava: “Estou recebendo ameaças graves.”

A cocaína, pesando 715,86 kg, foi interceptada em 9 de julho de 2021 em Aeroton. Quatro indivíduos, incluindo dois policiais, enfrentaram acusações que foram posteriormente retiradas. Sebola também descreveu uma foto do navio Apolonis que chegou do Brasil e referências a uma apreensão anterior em Isipingo.

Um depoimento anterior do subtenente Marumo Magane descreveu como as drogas foram movidas no local sem o devido manuseio das evidências. A comissão ouviu que R55 milhões da cocaína apreendida desapareceram posteriormente de um laboratório. Sebola deve continuar a depor em uma data a ser definida.
