Nicolette Bell

Since about 18 June, Advocate Andrea Johnson requested to be relieved of responsibility for certain matters due to a conflict of interest and personal reasons, and Deputy National Director of Public Prosecutions Nicolette Bell now oversees these matters.

“since the 18th of June, or thereabout, Ms Johnson asked that she be relieved of the responsibility to deal with those matters, given what was said at some point, even about her personally”

Prosecutors from IDAC remain in charge of cases related to these documents but report to Deputy National Director Nicolette Bell, not to the Head of IDAC Andrea Johnson, who no longer leads these processes.

“the Prosecutors from IDAC remain in charge of those cases, but they do not report to the Head of IDAC ... but the instruction is that one advocate, Nicolette Bell ... is the one who is now charged with the responsibility to oversee all the matters”
