The future of the South African Football Association (Safa) president Danny Jordaan is hanging in the balance as he faces R1.3 million fraud charges.
Jordaan and his co-accused, Safa chief financial officer Gronie Hluyo and journalist-turned-businessman Trevor Neethling were apprehended yesterday morning. They later in the day appeared in the Specialised Commercial Crime Court in Palm Ridge, Johannesburg, where they were all released on R20 000 bail each.
When handing down his ruling on the bail application, Magistrate Phillip Venter said all the evidence provided by the accused in their affidavits which were presented by their lawyers was convincing and verified by the investigating officers.
"The state did not oppose the application for bail. The applicants' information, including addresses, were verified and confirmed. The court is satisfied with the information given."
They were ordered to come back to court on 5 December.
