It provided a company called “Ropack International,” purportedly located in South Africa. From our preliminary investigations, that is a tyre manufacturing company. It is called “Ropack International South Africa”. They said that, that company dealt with maize importation or storage. I do not want to divulge more, but the information from one of the key investigating agencies is that, that was a tyre manufacturing company. Your guess is as good as mine now. What was the relationship between a maize and a tyre manufacturing company? That was their first source. Therefore, from our investigations, there was no business relationship between M/s. Erad and Ropack International, which is a tyre manufacturing company."}
