Alleged diamond scam mastermind Louis Liebenberg and his wife remain embroiled in a legal battle as they seek bail alongside seven co-accused.

The group appeared before the Bronkhorstspruit Magistrate’s Court as they fight to secure their release following their arrest by the Hawks in October last year.

Liebenberg and his co-accused are facing an array of serious charges, including fraud, racketeering, money laundering, and theft. Authorities allege they orchestrated a scheme that defrauded diamond investors of more than R4 billion.

The bail proceedings continue as the court weighs the arguments from both the defense and prosecution.
