Hours after the withdrawal of charges against Gauteng businessman Johan Meyer for contravening laws governing weapons of mass destruction and nuclear energy, Durban police swooped on a luxury penthouse on the beachfront and arrested a German-born engineer on similar charges.
The 65-year-old engineer is also facing similar charges in Germany and was arrested a forthnight ago.
'I expect my client to make a court appearance later in the day'
While Durban detectives were making the arrest on the beachfront, detectives arrested another suspect in Sandton.
Spokesperson for the police national commissioner Director Sally de Beer on Thursday confirmed the arrests.
De Beer said she had very few details as the arrests were made late on Thursday night. Police would not release any further information due to the sensitive nature of the investigations. "At this stage we cannot rule out further arrests," said De Beer.
