South African prosecutors say businessman Sulliman Carrim was travelling to Saudi Arabia via Dubai when he was arrested at OR Tambo International Airport. He is charged with failing to appear before the Madlanga Commission, while a separate investigation concerns suspected fraud and corruption, IOL reports.
South African prosecutors say North West businessman Sulliman Carrim was travelling to Saudi Arabia via Dubai when he was arrested on Thursday evening at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, according to prosecutors cited by IOL. He is said to have had a one-way ticket and no return booking.
Carrim’s lawyers dispute this claim as the court considers his bail application. The businessman was arrested by the team tasked with following up on the Madlanga Commission’s recommendations, after being accused of failing to appear before the commission of inquiry. His arrest also comes amid a police investigation into suspected fraud and corruption involving the Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality, IOL reports.
