Episode Details

Former celebrity lawyer Peet Viljoen is back in the spotlight, facing 400 charges tied to a R27 million land fraud scheme involving City of Johannesburg properties from 2010. Disbarred in 2011 for “mafia-like” conduct and misappropriating trust funds, Viljoen has long maintained his innocence, even calling himself a whistleblower. Arrested again after being deported from the U.S., he’s now jailed in Pretoria and preparing a bail application — likely to be opposed by prosecutors who plan to use his own social media posts against him. With serious allegations of corruption, fraud, and forgery, this case promises to be his toughest legal battle yet.
