Sadiqi was nabbed by Interpol South Africa at an upmarket hotel in Sandton on Thursday.


The 43-year-old businessman is wanted back home for kidnapping, robbery and three counts of contempt of court.


"The charges emanate from an incident which took place in April 2020 in Zimbabwe where the suspect kidnapped his next of kin and fled with him to South Africa. A warrant of arrest was immediately issued by Zimbabwean Authorities after which a red notice was also issued by Interpol Harare," said police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe


He appeared in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court where his case was postponed to 17 November for a formal bail application.
