Oupa Sindane pretende declarar-se inocente de acusações de extorsão

O empresário e proprietário de táxis Oupa Sindane diz que planeja declarar-se inocente das acusações de extorsão e lavagem de dinheiro. Ele busca fiança no Tribunal de Magistrados de Kwaggafontein, a leste de Joanesburgo, juntamente com três corréus.

Sindane, de 50 anos, apresentou-se à polícia na manhã de sexta-feira. O Estado sustenta que ele estava tentando fugir, mas não teve outra escolha a não ser se render. Sua equipe de defesa argumenta que ele se entregou voluntariamente e que não sabia que era um suspeito procurado.

Sindane disse ao tribunal que permanecer sob custódia prejudicaria seus negócios e funcionários. Ele e os corréus Joe Sibanyoni, Daniel Masilela e Phillimon Msiza negam qualquer envolvimento nos supostos crimes.

O pedido de fiança continua em análise no tribunal.
