Brian WAINSTEIN ARRESTED In Cape Town, RSA!!!!
This is to inform the public of the arrest of an international fugitive by Cape Town CIPS with the assistance of members of the Flying Squad that tookplace on 8 January 2013. Earlier information received from a reliable source regarding a suspect who was listed on the INTERPOL wanted list, was pursued by CIPS members and after further investigation and contact with local INTERPOL (PTA) the suspect, Brian WAINSTEIN (aka Ben Benjamin) -ID.NO: 650210 5208 085 was arrested at his multimillion Rand hide out where he has been living an hedonistic lifestyle in the Cape Town Waterfront (C10, Juliet Marinas, DockRoad, Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town). The arrest was expedited as information received indicated the suspect's imminent intention to leave the RSA. Brian WAINSTEIN had applied to the South African Home Affairs Department to have his surname changed on his Identity Book which would have enabled him then to apply for a new RSA ********, thus he would have been free to travel the world and not risk being arrested under the numerous warrants that have been issued against him Internationally.
He recently travelled to Johannesburg, where he is not known, to find a lawyer that would help him fast track the process of acquiring a new ID Book.
In the USA, where there is also a warrant for his arrest, Brian Wainstein went under the alias Trevor Thornton. His ex-wife has recently been released from jail on parole in the USA, it is not clear at this point in time if she was convicted under similar charges.
The suspect Brian WAINSTEIN is an SA citizen and is wanted in several other parts ofthe world as he was allegedly involved in the illegal distribution of huge quantities of steroids world wide and therefor his appearance onthe steroids most wanted list. He was previously arrested, charged and found guilty in the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
He has been released on a bail of R500'000.- , and he is currently still residing at his flat in the Waterfront, as well as reporting in person to the Sea Point SAPS daily to sign the "bail register". The case has been remanded to 8 February 2013 at the Cape Town Magistrates Court.
With the help of his attorney Brett Carnegie, he is currently fighting his extradition to Nicosia/Cyprus, which issued his warrant of arrest through INTERPOL. In order not to be deported and/or serve any jail time, he will try to enter a plea bargain with the prosecution by agreeing to plead guilty and turn state witness, in exchange he will disclose all information regarding his past and present business associates. The suspect Brian Wainstein has also hired the services of a personal bodyguard, no doubt to protect himself from his associates and other people that will want to keep him silent. He has recently removed his number plates from his dark blue BMW 750 Li, which he had personalized and registered as "SHAMROCK WP". It is believed that he might have sold that car and went and bought himself a new identical model, also dark blue, which could explain why he is trying to keep his vehicle's number plate a secret.
Brian WAISTEIN owns several properties in and around Cape Town, one of which is situated in the up-market suburb of Constantia.
