# The EFF has lodged a formal complaint against prosecutor, Joel Cesar, with the National Director of Public Prosecutions. Cesar prosecuted Julius Malema in his firearm case, resulting in the court handing him a five-year prison sentence after he was found guilty of violating guns law. The EFF says Cesar violated the Criminal Procedure Act by unlawfully authorising the return of the firearm in this case to its owner, Adriaan Snyman. The party has accused him of prosecutorial overreach and interference with the proper administration of justice.
