IFP MEDIA STATEMENT BY: 
MR KOOS VAN DER MERWE MP
IFP SPOKESPERSON ON JUSTICE

15th April 2008

The Inkatha Freedom Party suspects foul play at the Johannesburg High Court after armed robbers were able to steal documents relating to the FNB robbery case, with relative ease. 

Only one office - that of a senior state prosecutor Deon Van Wyk - was targeted in a military-precision attack, which to the IFP looks like it was an inside job. 

The IFP therefore calls for security to be stepped-up at the Johannesburg High Court with immediate effect and for police not only to launch an investigation into the armed robbery, but for a full investigation to be launched into possible corruption by persons on the premises. 

Those guilty parties who planned this attack should be brought to book promptly and should face the full brunt of the law.
