Pretoria - The South African Police Service’s Interpol Extradition Task Team says it will vigorously oppose the bail application of an Israeli fugitive when he appears in court this morning.
Shay Moslie, who is wanted by Israeli authorities for crimes committed in 2012, was arrested by police in Montecasino in Johannesburg earlier this month.
He was arrested by Interpol after a request for his extradition was received from the Israeli law enforcement authorities.
Moslie is wanted in his home country, where he is due to face three murder and four conspiracy to commit murder charges.
“The South African authorities went on a manhunt once the Israeli authorities notified them of his presence in June this year and within three months, he had been identified, nabbed and brought to our courts from where the extradition proceedings will later commence,” police spokesperson, Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo, said. – SAnews.gov.za
