(000228.79-:E-000157.73:N-:R-SU:C-30:V)
[Quite a big load of contraband there! Jan]Three suspected smugglers are expected to appear before the Kempton Park Magistrates’ Court on charges of dealing with precious metal and contravention of the Customs Act after gold weighing 73.5 kg was found in their hand luggage at the OR Tambo International Airport (ORTIA).
Acting on information provided by security officials at the airport after a security scanner identified irregular images, a multi-disciplinary team consisting of the South African Police Service (SAPS), South African Revenue Service (SARS) customs officials, Department of Health (Port Health officials) and officials from the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) pounced on the trio at the international arrival terminals.
The trio had just flown into South Africa from Madagascar and were en-route to Dubai via Ethiopia last week when they were apprehended.
Upon questioning of the suspects and further inspection of their hand luggage, officials discovered the gold bars and some foreign currency.
Both the gold bars and foreign currency have been seized for further investigation under the Customs and Excise Act and the Exchange Control Regulation. The suspects have been detained and the matter has been taken over by the SAPS Organised Crime Unit for criminal investigations.
Investigations are also underway by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) with the assistance of Interpol with authorities from various countries to determine the legitimacy of the certification papers as provided by the men and also to determine the country of origin where the gold was mined.
Investigations will also focus on which country the gold bars were destined for.

He was physically small and often underestimated, but once he took command of his first Tiger he found his calling and worked his way up the chain of command from a lowly loader to company leader. His exploits on the Ost Front became semi-legendary, but unlike some of his more famous fellow Tiger aces (Wittman, von Strachwitz), he survived to tell the tale first-hand.
