MOGOMOTSI MAGOME 约翰内斯堡 — 南非法院周二拒绝了一名前副警察总长的保释申请，该官员面临性犯罪指控，法院裁定他须在审判前继续被关押。
MOGOMOTSI MAGOME JOHANNESBURG — A South African court denied bail on Tuesday to a former deputy police chief facing sexual offense charges, ruling that he remain behind bars pending trial.
该警官沙德拉克·西比亚于本月早些时候辞去警察职务，此前他于9月被捕。他被指控强奸一名18岁女性、人口贩卖以及对未成年人进行性引诱。
The officer, Shadrack Sibiya, resigned from the police service earlier this month following his arrest in September. He is accused of raping an 18-year-old woman, human trafficking and the sexual grooming of a minor.
在调查警察犯罪的调查委员会上，也有指控称他与该国犯罪网络的所谓成员有联系。西比亚否认这些指控。
There are also allegations made at the commission of inquiry probing criminality in the police that he has links to alleged members of criminal networks in the country. Sibiya denies the allegations.
周二，兰德堡治安法院拒绝了他的保释申请，称他未能提出应获释的特殊情况，并同意检方认为其释放将对证人构成威胁。警方表示，西比亚离开警察服务被视为不光彩的解雇。
On Tuesday, the Randburg Magistrates Court denied him bail, saying he had failed to present exceptional circumstances on why he should be released and agreeing with prosecutors that his release would pose a threat to witnesses. Police say that Sibiya’s departure from the police service is regarded as a dishonorable discharge.
西比亚一直是一个司法调查委员会调查的对象，该委员会调查南非警察内部广泛的腐败指控以及该国犯罪网络的所谓联系。
Sibiya has been the subject of a judicial commission of inquiry investigating wide-ranging allegations of corruption within the South African police and alleged ties to the country’s criminal networks.
在由退休法官姆拜西尼·马德兰加主持的委员会上，西比亚被指控与犯罪网络的所谓成员有密切联系，并从他们那里收取大量现金和礼物。国家检察署表示，他们很快将准备好开庭审理。
At the commission, which is chaired by retired Judge Mbuyiseni Madlanga, Sibiya has been accused of having close links to alleged members of the criminal networks and receiving large sums of cash and gifts from them. The National Prosecuting Authority said they will soon be ready for trial.
“我们对向法庭提交的证据感到满意，这也是我们今天获得该裁决的原因，”国家检察署发言人凯泽·甘亚戈说。
“We are comfortable that the evidence that we put before the court is good enough, and that is why we got the ruling that we got today,” said National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago.
