The Prosecutor General has applied for a preservation order to freeze the bank accounts of Rehoboth drug accused Naomi Fisch, pending a possible forfeiture of the funds to the state.

The application was revealed during Fisch’s bail proceedings in the Rehoboth Magistrate’s Court, where the court heard that she owns multiple bank accounts.

These include an account at NamPost, which holds approximately N$89,000, and two investment accounts, each with balances exceeding N$30,000.

When proceedings commenced on Tuesday, Fisch’s defence lawyer, Winnie Christian, requested a postponement to obtain further instructions from his client regarding the state’s application for the preservation order. 

The court granted the request.

Fisch, who is unemployed, is facing charges of dealing in drugs and money laundering.

The state argued that the funds in her accounts are proceeds of drug sales.

Fisch has denied the allegations, telling the court that her income is from operating a seven-seater transport business and a tuck shop.

The matter continues on Wednesday before the Rehoboth Magistrate’s Court.
