The state has shown it has evidence implicating former minister of fisheries and marine resources Bernhard Esau on what appears to be serious charges in the Fishrot case about the alleged unlawful use of Namibian fishing quotas, a judge said in a bail ruling delivered in the Windhoek High Court yesterday.
One of the lawyers involved in the Fishrot fishing quotas fraud, corruption and racketeering trial has told the presiding judge he will be asking him to step down from the matter.
The 10 men facing charges in the Fishrot fishing quotas fraud, corruption and racketeering case must be allowed access to the internet in Windhoek Correctional Facility, where they are being held in custody, the judge presiding over their trial has ordered.
