The target: a R3 million Bentley Continental GT from businessman Hangwani Morgan Maumela's trust, which changed hands suspiciously but never left the dealership. Omar was arrested for refusing CCTV access but soon cooperated; no car was found, and the dealership must prove its sale by June 9 or face contempt charges at a July 3 hearing.
