The Cape Town Magistrate’s Court has granted a postponement in the case involving Dutch arms dealer Augustinus Petrus Kouwenhoven (75), convicted of crimes against humanity and for selling firearms to former Liberian President Charles Taylor. A News24 report says the magistrate signed off on a postponement to wait for extradition documentation from the Department of Justice. Kouwenhoven faces a 19-year jail sentence for crimes against humanity in the Netherlands and could face extradition. Court proceedings will resume on 27 February.
