Interpol South Africa through the assistance of the South African Police Service’s National Intervention Unit (NIU) have, during an early morning raid, arrested a 43- year-old businessman at an upmarket hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg.
Zimbabwean Businessman Frank Buyanga Sadiqi is wanted by the Zimbabwean authorities for kidnapping, robbery and three counts of contempt of court.
The charges emanate from an incident which took place in April 2020 in Zimbabwe where the suspect kidnapped his next of kin and fled with him to South Africa.
A warrant of arrest was immediately issued by Zimbabwean Authorities after which a red notice was also issued by Interpol Harare.
Sadiqi was arrested on the morning of 10 November 2022, and has already appeared before the Randburg Magistrate’s Court.
His case has been remanded to 17 November 2022 for a formal bail application.
