DPP Denies Being In Contempt Of Court

Molomo argued that the DPP's hands were clean because they did not go to court to seek the restraining order. He was making a presentation in the Daisy Loo case that resumed in Lobatse on Friday. Molomo said after realising that the DPP had no powers to withhold the Daisy Loo funds as exhibit in their ongoing serious crime investigations, they advised the Commissioner of Police, who has such powers, to get the exhibits for the DPP, so they can be used as evidence in the on-going case. He said the money was the proceeds of a serious crime.

The exhibit refers to the P25 million the High Court of Appeal awarded Daisy Loo, which money had remained frozen in a neutral account over the last two years, pending the resolution of the marathon case.
