Claim 2: “Nkosi was arrested on April 1 after a raid at his Pretoria home when police conducted a search-and-seizure warrant where closed-case dockets, among other things, were found.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results corroborate that Sgt Fannie Nkosi was arrested following a police raid at his Pretoria home, and that closed-case dockets were found during the search. One source mentions finding 'undetected' case dockets, and another specifies 'cash-in-transit (CIT) and hijacking dockets that had been closed because there were no leads.'
