法官拒绝前总统祖马(Zuma)在其腐败审判中撤换首席检察官的企图。 Judge rejects ex-President Zuma's attempt to remove lead prosecutor in his corruption trial.

南非前总统雅各布·祖马(Jacob Zuma)试图将首席检察官比利·唐纳(Billy Downer)从对他的腐败审判中撤职,但Nkosinathi Chilli法官驳回了这一企图。 Former South African President Jacob Zuma's attempt to remove lead prosecutor Billy Downer from his corruption trial was dismissed by Judge Nkosinathi Chilli. Zuma和法国军火公司Thales被控与1990年代的军火交易有关的欺诈、腐败、洗钱和勒索。 Zuma and French arms company Thales are charged with fraud, corruption, money laundering, and racketeering related to a 1990s arms deal. Zuma声称,Downer的到场将损害公平审判,但他的上诉迄今未获成功。 Zuma claims Downer's presence will compromise a fair trial, but his appeals have so far been unsuccessful. 如果法院拒绝允许他进一步上诉,Zuma计划向最高上诉法院提出申诉。 If the court denies him leave to appeal further, Zuma plans to petition the Supreme Court of Appeal.
