He was arrested in Paarl, South Africa in a joint operation by the IRMCT Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) Fugitive Tracking Team and South African authorities.
The thorough investigation that led to this arrest was made possible through the support and cooperation of South Africa and other African countries, notably the Kingdom of Eswatini and the Republic of Mozambique.
