South African Court Denies Bail to Two Men Arrested on Nuclear Technology Smuggling Charges

Two German men arrested earlier this month in South Africa on charges of smuggling nuclear weapons-related technology were denied bail today, according to BusinessDay (see GSN, Sept. 9).

The men, Gerhard Wisser, managing director of the Randburg engineering firm, and Daniel Geiges, a company director, were arrested on suspicion of importing and exporting uranium enrichment-related equipment (South Africa Press Association/BusinessDay, Sept. 28).
