Suspended Western Cape Police Commissioner Arno Lamoer is expected back in the Western Cape High Court with his co-accused on Tuesday.

The other accused who will join Lamoer in the dock include three police officials - brigadiers Darius van der Ross, Kolindren Govender, and Logambal "Sharon" Govender as well as Cape Town businessman Mohamed Saleem Dawjee and his son Mohamed Zameer Dawjee.

The accused are facing 109 charges related to corruption, racketeering, and money laundering, involving roughly R1.6 million.

In April 2015, Lamoer handed himself over to police, along with three other top police officials and two local businessmen.

According to the indictment, Lamoer and the three police officials received R1.6 million in bribes from the businessmen.
