NCC leader Adams’ fraud case transferred to Durban Regional Court
Pre-trial conference in the fraud case against Fadiel Adams has been postponed to 11 December
The fraud case against National Coloured Congress leader Fadiel Adams has been transferred from the Pinetown Regional Court to the Durban Regional Court. On Friday, Adams appeared in the Pinetown Regional Court for charges of fraud and defeating the ends of justice. State prosecutor Nokulunga Ngcobo informed the court that the South African Police Service (SAPS) raised security concerns and that the current court's docket could not handle the case.
The defense was unaware of these security issues but agreed to postpone the pre-trial hearing to December 11 at the Durban Regional Court. Adams expressed his dissatisfaction outside the court, accusing the state of playing a delaying game and questioning the SAPS's decision to raise security concerns in court. He stated that the move was likely an attempt to keep the documents hidden and delay the trial.
Adams threatened legal action against certain generals over his arrest and prosecution, warning them that they would be sued in their personal capacity if they continued to obstruct the proceedings.
