SA's Hawks nab CMB's Tim Marsland for BPOPF 'heist'

Saturday, July 13, 2019

Tim Marsland, the majority owner of Capital Management Botswana (CMB) was reportedly arrested by the South African Hawks late last night in connection with the alleged misappropriation of about P500 million from the Botswana Public Officers Pension Fund (BPOPF).

He is scheduled to appear in a Pretoria court on Monday for an extradition hearing which will determine whether he will be handed over to Botswana authorities.
