South Africa charges two Germans with nuclear materials smuggling

VANDERBIJLPARK, South Africa (AFP) Sep 09, 2004
Two German men Thursday appeared in a South African court on charges related to an international nuclear smuggling ring following their arrest a day ago.
Gerhard Wisser, 66, and Daniel Geiges, 65, both living permanently in South Africa, appeared on four counts of contravening the Nuclear Energy Act and a law banning the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

Their arrests follow that of a South African businessman over his alleged links to a nuclear smuggling network thought to be linked to Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan and aimed at helping Libya develop an atomic weapons programme.

The two Germans "unlawfully and intentionally imported, held in transit and exported goods which may contribute to the design, development, production, deployment, maintenance or use of weapons of mass destruction without a permit," the charge sheet said.
