StateCaptureInquiry | 'There were large transfers into the account that seemingly came from Transnet and shortly thereafter, there were large amounts paid away.'

Sinton revealed the bank records of Regiments Capital, which showed that the company received more than R100m in business from Transnet in 2014 alone. But this money was not kept in Regiments' account.

Sinton told the commission that after numerous media reports on Gupta businesses emerged in 2015, and after Absa and KPMG both announced that they had cut ties with these entities, Standard Bank set about conducting an internal analysis of their clients' accounts.
