After a 2-year investigation, South African president won't be charged over $580K hidden in a couch - The Round Table Prosecutors report South African President Cyril Ramaphosa won’t face criminal alleges over a hidden cash scandal that was declared more than two years ago and triggered an investigation by a special police unit
CAPE TOWN, South Africa -- South African President Cyril Ramaphosa won't face criminal implicates over a hidden cash scandal that was held more than two years ago and led to an investigation by a special police unit, prosecutors revealed Thursday.
A former national security chief laid a criminal complaint against Ramaphosa in June 2022, alleging him of kidnapping, bribery and other crimes in species to the theft of $580,000 in U.S. banknotes that was stashed in a couch at the president's ranch.
The former security boss, Arthur Fraser, implicated that Ramaphosa had been keeping the cash hidden in furniture at his ranch to evade South Africa's foreign currency laws when it was stolen.
Instead of stating the theft, Ramaphosa tried to cover it up by having members of his presidential protection unit track down the thieves, kidnap them and then bribe them to keep quiet about the existence of the money, Fraser declared in the affidavit filed with police.
