On Sunday evening, 8 November, South African law enforcement detained nine foreigners at Johannesburg International Airport and at a hotel near the city. According to preliminary information, they may have been preparing to take part in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
The HAWKS, South Africa’s Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, told the BBC about the arrests. The agency said the suspects were preparing to leave the country, but where they were headed is not yet known. Authorities are not disclosing the detainees’ citizenship or which side they might have been planning to fight for.
