Police have arrested 15 people, some of whom are former or serving cops, in connection with fraud, corruption, money laundering and theft.
“The latest 15 accused have all been charged yesterday [Saturday] and they are to appear for the first time in the Pretoria magistrate's court on Monday on charges of fraud, corruption, money laundering and theft,” Naidoo said.
He said the charges related to the alleged “manipulation of procurement documents for the branding of vehicles, and a host of other transactions”. After their appearance on Monday, the 15 are expected to join their co-accused in court on September 29. The 16 suspects arrested initially are currently out on bail.
Another person, identified as Linda Lubanyana, is also sought in connection with the case. Police have asked for any information on him or his whereabouts to be handed over, either by calling the Crime Stop number on 086 00 10111 or via the MySAPSApp.
