Perly suspect out on bail

Julian Brown has just been released from St Albans Prison after paying bail of R800 000. Brown, 30, is the suspected head of a multi-million perlemoen syndicate.

On Thursday, the Port Elizabeth Magistrate's Court granted his release on R800 000 bail - believed to be the highest amount to be paid to date - also ordering him to report to the police station three times a week and placing him under house arrest between 6pm and 6am.

His racketeering case was postponed to next month for further investigation.
