#MotiFiles: Moti Group to consider legal options after High Court win for amaBhungane | News24

Businessman Zunaid Moti and the Moti Group are involved in a legal scuffle with investigative journalism unit amaBhungane over leaked documents the publication received from a source.In June, the Moti Group obtained a gag order against amaBhungane, ex parte, meaning the publication did not know about the case, and the order was issued without it being afforded a chance to oppose it.

The group said it was considering its legal options, including an approach to the Constitutional Court, as it viewed the case as one relating to the constitutional right to privacy.We still believe strongly that it is unlawful for any media house to publish and make use of stolen documents. The group said a criminal case was still pending regarding the theft of the documents, adding it would offer its full cooperation to the police where required.
