Hi Guys,
Just to let you know Anton Bakker and his son in law, Coenraad Van Wyk, again appeared in the Modimole Commercial Crimes Court last week Thursday on charges of theft and fraud totalling ZAR5,3 million (approximately US$ 500K).
The original charges relate to defrauding Canadian, Hungarian and Russian hunters as well as further attempting to defraud South African game farmers with the sale of Nyalas.
Bakker's latest court appearance is in relation to having committed perjury and defeating the ends of justice, when he lied to the Magistrate during his bail application, when he indicated that he only had one previous conviction to his name, which he supposedly committed in his youth.
The State prosecutor, Adv. Dries Van Rensburg, however in the interim and during his continuous investigation into Bakker and his family, discovered that Bakker has seventeen prior convictions, under all of his aliases, ranging from fraud to theft, and twice having been convicted of attempted escape of custody.
Bakker has now been rearrested and has his bail been revoked pending a new bail hearing set for 5 February 2016.
Trust you all have a good one and will try and give more info as the matter transpires.
Regards,
Snoepie
