Eric Wood is accused of enabling and benefitting from millions of rand of unlawful payments made by Transnet and Eskom to Regiments and Trillian. Wood, along with former Transnet officials Garry Pita, Siyabonga Gama and Phetolo Ramosebudi, and Trillian executive Daniel Roy, were arrested on 27 May 2022, after handing themselves over at Brackendowns police station in Johannesburg. Another co-accused, so-called “Gupta fixer” Kuben Moodley, was arrested in September 2021 at OR Tambo International Airport just before he boarded a flight to Dubai.
