In pairs agreed to arrest Putin if he ever come to the country

The statement states that the National Prosecutor of South Africa received an official request from the Ministry of Justice and the Constitutional Development for the issuance of a warrant for the arrest of the President of the Russian Federation. "This fact was confirmed in the order issued this morning by the high court of Gutang in the case of a district prosecutor to force the Government of South Africa to fulfill its obligations to Putin's arrest," politicians said.

The Court also ruled that the Director General of the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development should pay the costs of the district prosecutor in this case. As South Africa has ratified the Roman Statute, it is obliged to comply with the requirements of the ISS.

However, the official authorities of the country, represented by President, Ramafos, tried to evade the fulfillment of obligations and negotiated with the Russian side in search of legal options not to comply with the decision of the International Criminal Court on Putin's arrest. Moreover, the Kremlin's representatives made it clear that they would consider such actions as declaration of war. The media also wrote on July 14 that Putin would like Putin not to go to the Brix Summit.

At the same time, Putin allegedly wanted to attend the event in Johannesberg. Therefore, the African authorities considered the options how to avoid his arrest. Allegedly, the President of the Russian Federation could provide diplomatic immunity at the time of visiting the Brix summit in August in Johannesburg, but after Russia withdrawing from the grain agreement, the decisions changed. On July 19, it became known that Putin refused to participate in a summit in Johannesberg.
