American experts descend to fight Willah Mudolo's case

BUSINESSMAN Willah Mudolo has vowed to take his legal fight to South Africa’s Constitutional Court and even to the International Court of Justice in The Hague claiming that justice is being denied in his ongoing criminal case linked to self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd Bushiri’s controversial mega church project.

Mudolo is reported to be meeting a team of international attorneys, interestingly, the same team used by South Africa in its bid to have the war in Gaza declared a genocide. According to American legal expert Michael Sully, the case against Mudolo is weak and void of fact. Sully told The Star that Mudolo's rights are being violated because he is a foreign national.

"Mudolo did not skip the country like Bushiri did. In the evidence admitted to court, Mudolo proved that it was his money that was taken. Bushiri made off with over $4 million Mudolo's money.

"In accordance with South African contract law and criminal law, he is the victim. But it looks like the courts have already taken a position against him even before the trial begins," Sully said.

Mudolo, who was arrested in October 2020 alongside Bushiri on allegations of fraud, corruption, and money laundering, maintains that he is not a perpetrator but a victim of a massive extortion scheme. His legal team has now initiated multiple actions against State prosecutor Desiree Rosenblatt, accusing her of unethical conduct, perjury, and obstructing justice.
