How the commission nailed Adams
National Coloured Congress MP Fadiel Adams has denied that suspended police minister Senzo Mchunu influenced his decision to lay fraud and corruption charges against crime intelligence officials. Questions have been raised about Adams's rapid actions and his connections to key figures in the ongoing inquiry.
The Madlanga Commission has paused its proceedings for today in order to allow Fadiel Adams, National Coloured Congress leader and Member of Parliament, time to review recordings of his conversations with the Investigation Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC). Adams has been giving testimony for two days now. He is a key figure in the Section 27 affidavit that led to the prosecution of seven Crime Intelligence officials.
Advocate Lee Segeels-Ncube, the evidence leader, indicated that she plans to wrap up her questioning of Adams on Friday. According to her, the clip of the recording will present the affidavits discussed in the supplementary material. Adams testified earlier that he wrote to suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu less than 24 hours after filing criminal cases against the Crime Intelligence officials.
He claimed to have relied on information from the late General André Lincoln, who reportedly informed him about the officials' attempt to intercept the dockets.
