Cola said that the limited cooperation, the busy schedule and the unavailability of Bushiri paralyzed the investigation process as the crucial information required to proceed with the investigation process was not received from him as a victim in this matter.
“Mr. Bushiri has received comments on the matter, he is well aware that the investigator will proceed with his case as soon as he fully cooperates with the investigative process,” Cola said.
In a Facebook livestream, the wanted suspect claimed that officers threatened to arrest him on what he claimed were bogus money laundering charges. Bushiri also claimed that he was forced to send his children to Malawi for their safety.
Bushiri claimed that he denounced the threats to various ministers and senior law enforcement officials, including former Minister of State Security Bongani Bongo and former intelligence chief Arthur Fraser, and even brought the matter to Ipid, where cases were opened against the five policemen.
He further claimed that the same police officers against whom he had filed complaints subsequently arrested him for fraud committed by persons associated with his Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) church.
He says that he, along with his partners, raised more than 50 million rand to help people scammed by unidentified individuals.
Bushiri and his wife Mary Bushiri were arrested in October on charges of fraud, money laundering and theft worth R102 million.
The couple made headlines this weekend following their statement that he and his wife Mary had fled to Malawi in violation of their bail conditions.
In addition, he said that they will only return to South Africa if the government guarantees their safety and the investigating officers in their case recuse themselves.
