Johannesburg - Brett Kebble murder accused, Glenn Agliotti, is to stand trial in the Germiston Magistrate's Court on Tuesday for alleged drug dealing.
He will appear with three others, Stephanos Paparas, his father Dimitrio and Stanley Poonin.
The four will be tried for their involvement in a syndicate allegedly on the verge of exporting R250m worth of drugs to the United States.
On July 7 last year the Scorpions arrested Lesley Allan Curtis, Christiaan Alblas, Pedro Marques, Dimitrio Paparas and Poonin during a raid on a self-storage facility in Alberton.
Investigators seized hashish and cannabis believed to be destined for the overseas market.
Stephano Paparas handed himself over to police on July 13.
Agliotti was later added to the charge sheet.
Curtis, a Canadian, and South Africans Alblas and Marques were sentenced in the Alberton Magistrate's Court on July 25 2006, after turning State witness under a plea agreement.
Media reports on Tuesday indicated that Clinton Nassif - also implicated in the Kebble murder - would appear alongside the others.
