The North West NPA has reviewed 12 dockets involving Brown Mogotsi, including matters linked to allegations of murder, kidnapping, assault and fraud, and found that they were handled lawfully and should not be reopened.

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in North West has confirmed to IOL that it received 12 dockets it had requested from the police earlier this year involving controversial businessman Brown Mogotsi and that it found no grounds to reopen the matters, as they had been handled in accordance with the law.

The NPA requested that the South African Police Service (SAPS) submit all dockets involving Mogotsi to establish whether decisions taken in the respective matters were lawful.

Earlier this year, IOL reported that police in the North West had sent more than 10 dockets linked to Mogotsi to the NPA.

North West provincial police spokesperson Colonel Adéle Myburgh confirmed at the time that SAPS had received the NPA's request.
