Edwin Sodi and his company Blackhead Consulting will ask the high court to declare that the fraud, corruption and money laundering charges they face are unconstitutional.
The section states that everyone who is arrested for allegedly committing an offence has the right not to be compelled to make any confession or admission that could be used in evidence against that person.
”We had said to the Deputy Chief Justice that we acted for Sodi and that we will be answering all the questions but that the answers cannot be used against him. It was agreed and we proceeded on that basis,” Hodes said. ”We are aware that the evidence was being used against him,” he said, adding that Sodi was arrested on September 30 last year after concluding his evidence at the commission.
