The suspect was therefore charged with several offences, including theft by servant, acquisition of proceeds of crime, possession and use of proceeds of crime, as well as forgery and uttering false documents.

However, he pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The Magistrate directed that a ruling on bond terms will be delivered on October 9, 2025.
