An arms deal insider has quit the People’s Tribunal on Economic Crimes after claiming French leaders tried to quash the probe into Thales and Thint.
The lawyer who helped produce evidence implicating President Jacob Zuma in in the 1999 arms deal, Ajay Sooklal, has made fresh allegations
CSA legal head Ajay Sooklal told a committee of inquiry that Gerald Majola determined his own sanction at a board meeting earlier this year.
Jacob Zuma’s two co-accused — the two South African subsidiaries of French arms manufacturer Thales International — are not making any plans to go to court before the August date set by the National Prosecuting Authority [NPA]. ”We will meet them [the NPA] on the 4th of August,” said lawyer Ajay Sooklal.
