The case of 23-year-old student Fayrooz Saleh - who was caught with US dollars worth over R9m - is concluded.

“[Jamal] paid for her return ticket and said everything will be taken care of, including accommodation and food upon her arrival,” the agreement read.

“The accused was only advised after her arrest and release from custody by Mr Jamal that the money that was in her possession belonged to a businessman called Mr Ravichandren Dhurgasamy.” Shortly after Saleh’s arrest, Sars said she initially denied having the $630,700 with her, but this was uncovered when her luggage was searched.

This led to the state arguing that Saleh had intentionally failed to declare the large sum of money that she had in her possession. Both the state and Saleh’s lawyer reached an agreement on her sentence, which saw Saleh escape jail time."It is ordered ... that the whole of this sentence be suspended for a period of three years, on condition that the accused is not convicted in contravention of section 15 of the Customs and Excise Act 91 of 1964 or an offence of which dishonesty is an element and for which imprisonment without the option of a fine is imposed during the period of suspension.

Something most South Africans ask themselves. How can someone walk in with R9 million? This is unfortunately our government. Our dirty corrupt politicians. Our police force who do not police. Hopefully will be sorted in future. But new dawn around the corner.😁😁

cci_network Na man this woman didn't escape she was walked out the jail n let go, this isn't a street thug who knows to run n where to run to to hide from police,

Why is she the exception?

It helps in SA to be Saleh imagine if she was Hadebe, Modise or Jali? We had students spending jail time for protesting for student rights with no money in their pockets.

Our justice system is weak .thats why drugs dealing is part of entreprenuership in south africa
