Suliman Carrim’s bail hearing postponed as State argues he is a flight risk
Bail proceedings for Suliman Carrim have been postponed while prosecutors press the argument that he is a flight risk. The state rests its case on the circumstances of his arrest: officers took him in at OR Tambo International Airport on Thursday night. According to prosecutors, he was preparing to fly to Saudi Arabia by way of Dubai when he was caught. The timing of the arrest, the state suggests, points to a man getting ready to leave rather than face a court. The defense will answer the claim when the hearing resumes, though no new date was given in the report. Until the court decides, Carrim remains in custody.
Prosecutors told the court that Carrim was arrested at OR Tambo International Airport on Thursday night while allegedly preparing to travel to Saudi Arabia via Dubai.
