Namibia Investec MD resigns after the arrest of Bernhard Esau and a former client manager following kickback allegationsWindhoek — Namibia's former fisheries minister Bernhard Esau was released on Sunday after a high court judge declared that the warrant for his arrest a day earlier on corruption charges was invalid.

Esau and justice minister Sakeus Shanghala resigned earlier in November over the bribery claims. The two are alleged to have awarded horse mackerel quotas to Iceland's biggest fishing firm Samherji in exchange for bribes.Esau applied to the Windhoek High Court to declare the warrant for his arrest and detention invalid.

ACC director-general Paulus Noa said the investigators will now approach the courts again to apply for new warrants of arrest for Esau and his co-accused, including Shanghala and Hatuikulipi.
