  Schabir Shaik trial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After Shaik's brother Chippy was suspended from the Ministry of Defence for his involvement in a corrupt arms deal, Schabir Shaik was arrested in 2001 for the possession of secret documents, after which investigators found that he was involved in corrupt dealings with Zuma as well as fraud.
Shaik told her that it was for his financial director, but she later discovered, when there were complaints about bodyguards with guns, that Zuma lived there.
Shaik told the court that the company's auditors and financial director Colin Isaacs took full responsibility for the financial side of operations, that he was sure that the accounting books were in order, and that when he became aware of the problem he had it corrected.

 Shaik found guilty
Shaik, a former ruling party ANC banker during the apartheid era, was accused of paying Zuma R1.2m in bribes from one of his companies, Nkobi Holdings, without the knowledge of shareholders.
He dismissed as "hollow" claims by Shaik that money paid by Thomsons was for an educational trust fund for deprived children set up by Zuma.
Shaik was a key conduit of funds from abroad for the ANC when it was a banned movement, and his friendship with Zuma dates back to the days of the anti-apartheid struggle.

Shaik has, however, claimed the payments were for Zarina Maharaj, the former minister's wife, for services rendered as a consultant on gender equality to Shaik's company for four years.

 Sunday Independent: Shaik begins fight for leave to appeal
On the fraud charge, the court found that Shaik had caused money to be written off in the books of some of his companies and as a result created a false impression of the money he had paid to, among others, Zuma.
Shaik's legal team had objected, on procedural grounds, to the fax being used in evidence against Shaik, stating that it constituted hearsay as the author of the fax, Alain Thetard, a Thomson executive, was not before court.
Shaik, however, has always disputed that the state had a right to confiscate his assets - and especially the indirect shareholding in ADS - as the proceeds of a crime.
