Disbarred Lawyer’s Bail Battle | Johannesburg News

Published 5 days, 17 hours ago
Description

Disbarred lawyer Peet Viljoen faces over 400 charges for allegedly orchestrating a multimillion-rand property fraud scheme, with prosecutors accusing him of theft, corruption, and being a flight risk — while he fiercely denies wrongdoing and claims his social media posts are protected constitutional criticism. The court weighs whether to grant bail as the case spirals into a legal and political firestorm, with Viljoen’s deportation from the U.S., family asset sales, and courtroom clashes over witness intimidation adding layers of tension — all while he threatens a five-million-rand lawsuit and awaits a final decision in August.
