# AfriForum’s Private Prosecutions Unit, led by Gerrie Nel, has submitted a dossier to US authorities calling for sanctions against EFF leader Julius Malema under the Global Magnitsky Act. Enacted in 2016, the global legislation allows governments to impose sanctions on foreign individuals and entities responsible for serious human rights abuses and corruption. The dossier cites allegations of corruption, money laundering, and links to the VBS and On-Point scandals. He argues that South African authorities have failed to act, making international pressure necessary.
