Suliman Carrim’s bail bid postponed
North West businessman Suliman Carrim will remain behind bars until next Wednesday after his bail application was postponed.
The State opposed bail, arguing that Carrim is a flight risk, citing his alleged attempt to leave the country and his failure to appear before the Madlanga Commission despite being subpoenaed.
Carrim was arrested last Thursday and charged with contempt of the commission.
The state urged the court to deny him bail and remand him in custody until the proceedings are finalised.
“It is with the greatest respect that the state submits that there is a plain likelihood that the applicant will evade trial and also that he will commit a schedule 1 offence as set out in the submission made by the state.
And as such, the State submits that bail should be denied and the applicant be remitted back into custody until the finalisation of the proceedings.” VIDEO | Businessman Suliman Carrim’s case postponed:
