Depoimento em inquérito sobre cocaína na África do Sul é adiado por preocupações com segurança

A Comissão de Inquérito Madlanga adiou o depoimento da testemunha Tumelo Nku em 2 de julho de 2026 devido a preocupações com a segurança. O anúncio ocorreu após um tiroteio que feriu o oficial de Inteligência Criminal Feroz Khan, que estava agendado para comparecer perante a comissão.

O presidente da comissão, o juiz Mbuyiseli Madlanga, declarou que os trabalhos não poderiam continuar devido às questões de segurança envolvendo Nku. A comissão deve retomar as atividades na sexta-feira, embora detalhes sobre o futuro depoimento de Nku permaneçam incertos.

Nku havia testemunhado na segunda-feira sobre uma interceptação de cocaína de 286 milhões de rands em Aeroton, Joanesburgo, em 9 de julho de 2021. Ele descreveu a operação como sendo orquestrada para um traficante conhecido como Eby e disse que um parente o teria conectado ao indivíduo.

O adiamento ocorre após Khan ter sido baleado em Joanesburgo no domingo, permanecendo inconsciente no hospital. O Serviço de Polícia da África do Sul afirmou que é prematuro vincular o ataque à comissão e prometeu tratar qualquer interferência nos processos judiciais com seriedade.
