 A Port Elizabeth man appeared in the Commercial Crimes court on Friday again on charges of fraud and theft involving more than R1.6 million.

The state alleges that Eugene Scheepers had contravened the Debt Collectors Act, by acting as a debt collector without being registered.

He's also charged with contravening sections of the Banks Act, while also being charged with reckless trading for contravening the Close Corporation Act.

The case against Scheepers was postponed to July 18th for a possible plea.
