State requests Carrim be held in custody pending bail probe
Carrim appeared in the Pretoria Magistrates' Court after his arrest at OR Tambo Airport last night.
The North West businessman Suliman Carrim has been requested by the state to be held in custody pending the completion of bail investigations. Carrim appeared in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court following his arrest at OR Tambo International Airport, where he was allegedly en route to a religious pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia via Dubai.
The charges against him include contravening the Commissions Act for failing to appear before the Madlanga Commission. The state's request for remand is based on the fact that verification of Carrim's residential address is still outstanding, as mandated by Section 50 sub section 6 paragraph D of the Criminal Procedure Act. The court proceedings indicate that the state has obtained Carrim's profile, but this was done two months ago when the matter was initially reported to the South African Police Service.
