Nulane fraud trial heats up

BLOEMFONTEIN - A key state witness has conceded that he was wrong for stating that the Gupta family were co-signatories on the bank account of their Islandsite Investment company.

It was in this account of a company owned by the Guptas that evidence before court shows R522-million flowed between November 2011 and July 2012.
