Abrahams caused untold harm to economy - Judge Kriegler
31 October 2016
Pretoria - NPA head Shaun Abrahams was self-righteous instead of apologising for the untold financial harm done to the country on a "bogus case", said retired Constitutional Court Justice and Freedom Under law chairperson Johann Kriegler.
“We didn’t need to see Mr Abrahams talk to us for 50 minutes about section this and subsection this of the law, that was all a smoke screen, - [the] underlying truth is they did not do their homework, Kriegler told News24.
Abrhams on Monday announced the decision to drop the summons issued against Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and former South African Revenue (SARS) officials Oupa Magashula and Ivan Pillay. The trio were due to appear in court on Wednesday on charges of fraud.
This related to the early pension pay out to Pillay, approved by Magashula and Gordhan.
