the prosecutor

An unnamed speaker asserts that the same affidavit was given before it was provided to the prosecutor, so the prosecutor could not have new information about those named, implying investigations without a factual or legal basis against those people is improper.

“Because the same affidavit you would have seen before it went to the prosecutor... So for you to form the view that these people have committed fraud... there has to be a factual basis. It cannot just be made in the dark... to target South African citizens without any factual basis and without any legal basis and decide that it is going to conduct an investigation against them.”

Advocate Johnson confirms that the application came to him from the prosecutor.

“This application came to me from the prosecutor.”
