TMPD officer, wife back in court for bail hearing
Gagash and Charlotte Tibana are facing 35 charges of fraud, money laundering and corruption.
The bail hearing for Tshwane Metro Police Department officer Peter "Gagash" Nonyane and his wife, Charlotte Tibana, is set to continue at the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court in Limpopo on Friday. Their defence lawyer, Adv Hlawu Maluleke, requested a postponement to speak with his clients before proceeding with cross-examination. Nonyane and Tibana are charged with 35 counts of fraud, money laundering, and corruption.
They are accused of defrauding various family estates of over R4 million. State witness Colonel Daniel Makuwa concluded his testimony earlier in the week, testifying that Nonyane had previously requested him to halt the investigation, while Tibana allegedly attempted to interfere with it. Makuwa also indicated that additional charges will be brought against the accused. Maluleke will commence cross-examination on the upcoming day.
