In a dramatic submission attorney for Bakang Seretse, Kgosiitsile Ngakaagae has told Judge Godfrey Radijeng that no fraudulent intention could be sustained in a criminal case against his client.

Seretse and two others are facing money-laundering charges before the Regional Magistrate's Court. He made an urgent application to contest what Ngakaagae has branded "a stolen restraining order granted by Justice Godfrey Dijeng few weeks ago". The Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) few weeks ago was granted an order to have Seretse's properties and credit account balances placed under restraining and should not be disposed of. 

He said the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) asked for funding from the National Petroleum Fund to build strategic fuel storages across the country. The P250 million was approved by the Department of Energy. He said there is a correspondence from the DIS director Isaac Kgosi instructing Kenneth Kerekang a director at the Department of Energy to release funds to Khulaco (PTY) Ltd.
