Hawks searching for drug suspect also wanted by Interpol

The Hawks are searching for 41-year-old Ahmad Isa for his alleged link to the recent discovery of drugs worth R400 million rand on the N-1 in Pretoria earlier this month.

Spokesperson, Lieutenant-Colonel Philani Nkwalase, said Isa, who has several aliases, is also wanted on an Interpol Red Notice issued in Belgium for dealing in cocaine, and money laundering.

He said a warrant of arrest was issued against him on 9 June 2021, for his alleged links to a drug syndicate operating in South Africa stockpiling large quantities of cocaine before exporting it to other countries.

Nkwalase said Isa is also known as Pardilov Ariel and Micky Paki and was last seen in Camps Bay, Cape Town.

"He is possibly armed and is considered dangerous. He evaded lawful arrest in his Cape Town residence on Saturday 12 June 2021, when three of his alleged accomplices were nabbed.”  

He said the three were escorted to Pretoria from Cape Town under heavy police guard on Friday and are expected to appear in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Monday alongside Neil Van Zyl, who was the first to be arrested.
