Court gives AFU green light to go after bogus Prasa engineer Daniel Mthimkhulu's assets
The Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crime Court, sitting in Palm Ridge, has granted the Asset Forfeiture Unit an order to confiscate the assets of convicted fraudster and bogus Passenger Rail Association of South Africa engineer Daniel Mthimkhulu.
On Friday, magistrate Phillip Venter granted the AFU the order and told Mthimkhulu the purpose of the confiscation inquiry was to prevent criminal activity from becoming a lucrative profession. "The inception of the provision in the POCA is to take away from criminals what they have benefitted… You benefitted financially from the crime you have been convicted of," Venter said.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
