Ex-Namibian minister freed a day after arrest on graft charges
WINDHOEK (Reuters) - Namibia's former fisheries minister Bernhard Esau was released on Sunday after a High Court judge declared that the warrant for his arrest a day earlier on corruption charges was invalid. Esau was arrested along with a former client manager from South Africa's Investec Asset Management, Ricardo Gustavo, after allegations they were involved in a scheme to award fishing licences to an Icelandic firm in return for kickbacks. Esau and former Justice Minister Sakeus Shanghala quit earlier this month over the bribery claims.
