  "account": "Suspended police Sergeant Fannie Nkosi is set to return to Pretoria North Regional Court on Wednesday. Nkosi, formerly with the police’s Organised Crime Unit, was suspended in March. He was apprehended following a search of his Pretoria North residence by a SAPS task force. Charges against Nkosi include theft, fraud and interfering with the justice system. Police claim to have discovered firearms, ammunition, cash and official police documents at his home. He is also charged with a separate incident in Limpopo, where he allegedly removed marijuana from police custody. At his earlier court session, the two cases were consolidated. Nkosi remains behind bars as his bail request was denied, and his appeal of that decision was also rejected by the high court.",
