Fadiel Adams subpoenaed to testify at Madlanga Commission
Adams is expected to answer questions about how the Section 27 referral came about.
National Coloured Congress MP Fadiel Adams has been summoned to provide testimony to the Madlanga Commission, with the hearing scheduled for Tuesday morning. The inquiry implicates Adams in connection with a Section 27 affidavit that resulted in the arrest of seven Crime Intelligence officials. He may be questioned about confidential intelligence documents that were reportedly sent to his office.
The Madlanga Commission will continue its investigation into matters concerning the Investigative Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC). Adams is anticipated to respond to inquiries regarding the origins of the Section 27 referral. The evidence suggests that IDAC investigator Dylan Perumal allegedly obtained the referral from Adams.
Former IDAC head Advocate Andrea Johnson acknowledged that the method by which the affidavit might have been solicited from Adams raises legal concerns. In the meantime, Adams was suspended by Parliament, following the suspension notice received by the Impeachment Committee last week. This suspension will remain in effect until the end of the month.
