Police Detective Inspector Frans Job has opposed granting bail to brothers George and Bino Cloete during their bail application hearing in the Keetmanshoop Magistrate's Court.
The officer cited likely interference with witnesses and the ongoing investigation.
Bail applicant Bino Cloete has testified under cross-examination that his brother and co-accused, George Cloete, deposited large sums of money totalling close to N$2 million.
The duo face charges of violating the Prevention of Organised Crime Act and illicit trafficking under the Diamonds Act.
A group of family and friends of bail applicants Bino Cloete and George Cloete staged a protest outside the Keetmanshoop Magistrate’s Court this morning, demanding that the brothers be granted bail.
The bail application hearing for the Cloete brothers is set to continue today.
Bail applicant Bino Cloete has voiced discontent over the line of questioning by the State when he took the witness stand for cross-examination in the Keetmanshoop Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
Documents that remain outstanding have again delayed the bail hearing of brothers George and Bino Cloete in the Keetmanshoop Magistrates Court.
