Magistrado decidirá sobre pedido de fiança de Fadiel Adams na sexta-feira

O líder do National Coloured Congress, Fadiel Adams, aguarda a decisão de um magistrado sobre seu pedido de fiança após uma audiência no Tribunal de Magistrados de Pinetown. A decisão está prevista para sexta-feira, 15 de maio de 2026, no caso que alega interferência na investigação do assassinato de 2017 do ex-secretário-geral da Liga da Juventude do CNA, Sindiso Magaqa.

Adams foi preso em 5 de maio de 2026 pela Força-Tarefa de Assassinatos Políticos na Vila Parlamentar. Ele enfrenta acusações de fraude e obstrução da justiça por supostas visitas à prisão e contatos com testemunhas na investigação sobre Magaqa.

Na audiência de fiança realizada em 13 de maio, os promotores argumentaram que Adams representa um risco para a administração da justiça, citando visitas à prisão no final de 2024 e início de 2025, além de ligações para uma testemunha no início de maio. O advogado de defesa Yuri Gangai apresentou uma declaração de Adams negando má conduta e afirmando que ele agiu dentro de seu papel de fiscalização parlamentar.

A magistrada Wendalyn Robinson deve proferir sua decisão no dia 15 de maio. Adams sustenta que não há risco de fuga e que se declarará inocente de todas as acusações.
