The NPA and the Hawks are allocating people and resources to investigate apartheid-era crimes that have gone unpunished, but not everyone is altogether happy about it.
Whereas low-level looters may receive fines or community service, the masterminds will be dealt with ‘ruthlessly’, says prosecutions head
The NPA argued there was no need for Zuma to testify in the special plea application to have Billy Downer removed as prosecutor and, hence, no need to postpone the matter
The state argues Zuma’s rights as an accused will not be violated if his bid for prosecutor Billy Downer’s removal and his acquittal is heard virtually
Atul and Rajesh Gupta claim the attempt to bring them to stand trial for fraud and money-laundering in the Free State is politically motivated
Last month state prosecutor Greg Wolmarans accused defence lawyers of being ambivalent in presenting their bail application
The Hawks and the NPA want to boost forensic investigative capacity to get back more money lost to corruption
