The sum of $9.34m, confiscated by the South African authorities from
an Israeli arms dealer, Eyal Mesika, of Cyprus-based ESD International,
while acting on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria for arm
procurement, is to be handed over to the Nigerian government on November
30, 2015.
According to a South Africa online newspaper paper, beta.iol.co.za,
the South African Government would release the arms dealer without
prosecution while the government would be open to discussions with
Nigeria on further deals on arms.
It was further revealed that two weeks ago, the National Prosecuting
Authority of SA resolved to release the cash to the Defence Adviser at
the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria. The report added:
“The high court in Pretoria order technically declares the money
forfeited to the state, but also refers to the Nigerian government as
“the innocent victim” and excludes its interests from the forfeiture
order, which means Nigeria gets the money. The handover is on November
30 if there is no further legal challenge.”
