As investigations continue following the bust of a massive criminal syndicate in Windhoek, it has come to light that the 88 Namibian youths apprehended during the operation have not yet been charged.

Instead, they are being held in a secure and undisclosed location while further investigations are conducted and a decision from the Prosecutor General is awaited.

The decision not to charge the youth but to continue their custody underscores the intricate nature of their involvement in the case.
