The matter was adjourned to 1 October for sentencing proceedings and the accused’s bail was extended. CFO Marius Botha had been charged alongside Nothnagel, but died during the trial. Arina Botha, 52, the wife Marius Botha, was found guilty of money laundering. The deputy CFO, Jacobus van Schalkwyk, was found not guilty on all charges against him.”
