on Bauman's sentencing in 2020, National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said Baumann was obliged to open a hold and trust account for his practice and confessed that he received money on behalf of his clients from the RAF but only paid out a fraction and pocketed the rest.
Baumann told the court he had a gambling addiction and spent most of the money gambling. He added that he sought help for his gambling addiction. Ntabazalila said the court ordered that an investigation should be conducted to determine whether any assets could be confiscated from him. In consultation with the Asset Forfeiture Unit, the State applied for the confiscation of Baumann's property and assets.
In a statement on Saturday, Hawks spokesperson Zinzi Hani said the court ordered on Friday that the R62 800 should be paid into the CARA in terms of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act .
