The Investigating Directorate has filed an application to appeal against the recent judgment in the Nulane Investments R24.9m fraud and money-laundering case which saw the accused discharged.
The Investigating Directorate on Tuesday announced that it lodged an application to appeal a High Court judgment on the R24.9 million Gupta-linked Nulane matter.
The NPA's Investigating Directorate believes that acting Judge Nompumelelo Gusha erred in her judgment by granting Section 174 discharges to all but one of the accused in the R24.9 million Nulane case.
The Investigating Directorate says the summary acquittal of all the accused in its first-ever state capture trial – the R24.9 million Nulane fraud and money-laundering case – amounts to a 'miscarriage of justice' that must be appealed.
