Johannesburg -

A manager at Czech businessman Radovan Krejcir's Money Point is expected back in the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crime Court for a bail application on Tuesday.

Money Point business manager Ivan Savov and a bank employee face charges of fraud and money laundering. They were arrested on Thursday.

The bank employee was denied bail on Monday.

Savov was arrested at the Money Point gold and diamond exchange's office in Bedfordview, on the East Rand.

Last Tuesday, two people died in an explosion at the premises.

The charges against Savov and the bank worker are not related to the blast.

The bank employee allegedly made an unauthorised transfer of R10-million from the bank account of security services company G4S. The money was allegedly transferred to an attorney's account before being moved into Savov's bank account.

The Hawks believed the transactions were linked to a bigger syndicate.

Krejcir, who is opposing an attempt by Czech authorities to have him extradited, believes the Money Point blast was an attempt on his life. - Sapa
