29. Reuters: Police say Thatcher was set to leave
http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsPackageArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=571800§ion=news
Sipho Ngwema, spokesman for the FBI-style Scorpions unit which arrested Mark Thatcher on Wednesday, said the 51-year-old businessman had recently put his luxurious Cape Town house up for sale and was "winding up" other aspects of his life in the country.

"It looks as if he was planning to leave the country for good," Ngwema said.

Ngwema said police decided to move against Thatcher on Wednesday after he failed to respond quickly enough to a police request for information upon returning to South Africa from a trip to the United States several weeks ago.

"We wanted to make sure we arrested him before he left the country," he said.
