They were secretly detained for 4 months, before being charged, and their relatives were unable to establish their whereabouts.

The matter only appeared before the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on the 20 November 1972, when Alex Moumbaris and 5 Others were charged under the Terrorism Act. Marie-Jose, who was pregnant at the time, had been released and deported in September 1972.
