Police have delivered a blow to a syndicate targeting Joburg's wealthy, robbing them of their offshore investments and money stashed in foreign bank accounts.

A third man has been arrested in connection with operations that have siphoned foreign currency out of offshore accounts and investments, diverting it to banks around the world.

While accused number two has been released due to a lack of evidence against him, Democratic Republic of Congo nationals Ludewig Mutombo and newly arrested Lupanza Manutshionbe are expected to stand trial in the Commercial Crimes Court in October.

Meanwhile, the investigating officer is scheduled to head off to numerous countries to track down evidence and trace the workings of the gang, which has succeeded in stealing about R50-million in 28 transactions, with a possibility that more cases could be added to the docket.
