Suliman Carrim bail judgment reserved until next Monday
He is facing charges of attempted theft of motor vehicles, fraud and uttering.
The bail hearing for North West businessman Suliman Carrim is set to be decided next Monday at the Musina Magistrate's Court in Limpopo. Carrim submitted an affidavit requesting bail, which was presented to the court. However, the prosecution is contesting his application. Senior state prosecutor Jan Krijt argued that Carrim poses a flight risk and could potentially escape to any country if released on bail.
The state prosecutor emphasized that while extradition from the UAE may not be impossible, the feasibility of such a process is a key concern. Krijt pointed out that South Africa has faced difficulties in extraditing A.J Gupta from the UAE in recent years, citing a similar situation to the one before the court. Additionally, the prosecution used property records to support their case, highlighting that Carrim owns properties that were not disclosed in his bail affidavit.
