The state’s premature attempt to gather evidence violates African National Congress deputy president Jacob Zuma’s right to a fair trial, the Supreme Court of Appeal heard on Friday. The Durban High Court has issued a letter of request for documents from Mauritius the state wants for a possible corruption trial against Zuma.
The Supreme Court of Appeal reserved judgement on Tuesday in the dispute between Jacob Zuma and the National Prosecuting Authority over warrants used to seize documents from the former deputy president. Zuma’s lawyer, Kemp J Kemp, said the search warrants were ”overbroad”.
The trial of Schabir Shaik had not yielded enough evidence to prosecute Jacob Zuma, the state contended in the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein on Tuesday. ”A more comprehensive investigation was called for,” said Wim Trengove, counsel for the state. Hence it had been necessary for the Scorpions to raid four of Zuma’s homes and his attorney Michael Hulley’s office.
Search warrants and not subpoenas were necessary to obtain documents from African National Congress deputy president Jacob Zuma, the state argued in the Supreme Court of Appeal on Tuesday. Wim Trengove argued that the lesser means of a subpoena would cause a ”high risk” of evidence being concealed or destroyed.
