Gupta-owned company Islandsite Investments co-director Ronica Ragavan is expected to appear in the Bloemfontein Regional Court on Monday in connection with the Nulane Investment deal case.

It relates to alleged fraud in the procurement involving R24.9-million that the Free State Agriculture Department paid to Nulane Investment company.

During the last hearing, Ragavan was added to the list of the accused in the matter.

One of the accused Nulane Investments employee, Dinesh Patel, was not in court for medical reasons. He faces two counts of fraud and money laundering for his role in the Gupta enterprise.

The other accused include former Transnet Board member Iqbal Sharma, former Free State Rural Development Department head Peter Thabethe, former head of Provincial Agriculture Department Limakatso Moorosi, and former Chief Financial Officer in the same department Seipati Dhlamini.

They are all facing charges of fraud and money laundering.

During her last court appearance in October, Ragavan was released on R10 000 bail, as outlined in the video below:
