'The Hawks’ CATT deployed in the City of Tshwane municipality conducted a special operation on Wednesday and arrested him for allegedly stealing the money from the municipality's bank account.'

Hawks spokesperson Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi said Ivo Gunter Wegrostek, 62, appeared briefly in the Pretoria magistrate's court.

“Wegrostek was also slapped with strict bail conditions which, among other things, include that he cannot travel outside of the country, he must report daily at the Douglasdale police station, not leave Gauteng without the consent of the investigative officer, and he was also ordered to hand over his Austrian and SA passports,” said Mulaudzi.

“The Hawks’ National Clean Audit Task Team deployed in the City of Tshwane municipality conducted a special operation on Wednesday and arrested him for allegedly stealing the money from the municipality's bank account on August 30 2019. These exhibits, Muluadzi said, provided more “overwhelming” evidence that proved that Wegrostek was part of a big criminal syndicate operating across provincial and international borders.
