Malawi court blocks extradition of Bushiri; preacher claims vindication, attacks police

A Malawian court ruled that self-styled prophet Shepherd Bushiri cannot be extradited to South Africa, citing lack of evidence and reliance on anonymous witnesses and hearsay. Bushiri celebrated the ruling and accused police of fabricating cases, noting some arresting officers were later arrested or dismissed. The decision is a setback for South African authorities pursuing fraud and money-laundering charges, and raises questions about cross-border judicial cooperation.
