Beeld newspaper reported on Thursday that Meyer was a "small link" in an international smuggling network connected to Abdul Qadeer Khan, the founder of Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme. It said it had learnt there is a link between Meyer and Gerhard Wisser, who lives in South Africa but who was arrested in Germany two weeks ago.
Wisser was allegedly a middleman to secure locally made parts for the network that could be used in nuclear weapons.
Thanks for the ping!
