Alleged fraudster in violent confrontation

A suspect in the $2.5 million theft of parts from Holden has been charged after he allegedly punched a cameraman in the face outside court in Adelaide.

Video captured by the ABC shows 40-year-old Jason James Gangell allegedly land a haymaker-style hook on Channel 7 cameraman Andrew Foote outside the Adelaide District Court this morning.

Gangell's co-accused Michelle Rose continued to walk as he threw more punches at Channel 7 reporter Graham Hunnter, who restrained him while police were called.

Court officers took Gangell into custody until South Australia Police arrived.

He was arrested and then taken to Adelaide Police Station where he was charged with assault.

Mr Foote was treated for facial injuries and later posted to Twitter that he had received a fracture.

Gangell, of Pata, Adelaide, has pleaded not guilty to 161 counts of money laundering and one count of theft.

Rose, 37, pleaded guilty to nine counts of laundering and was remanded on bail until her next court hearing next month.
