Immigration lawyer faces over 1 000 charges CapeTimesSA
Cape Town – Prominent Cape Town immigration lawyer Craig Smith faces more than 1 100 charges ranging from racketeering, incitement, fraud, forgery, uttering and money laundering. He is set to appear at the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
Smith allegedly deducted tax and unemployment insurance fund contributions from his employees’ salaries, but did not remit the money to the SA Revenue Service and the Department of Labour. Smith turned to the Western Cape High Court, labelling the raid unlawful and invalid. He was successful in his application and the department was ordered to return his files, computers and hardware.
“On Tuesday, the three were taken to court and Cornelia Smith was released on bail, of which R100 000 is payable in 72 hours, whilst Salie’s bail was set at R1 000. Craig Smith is still in custody and is expected to apply for bail this Friday ,” he said.National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said yesterday the company had been added to the charge sheet.
The State said if Smith felt a foreign national with a job offer required more skills and qualifications to obtain the permit, Gaidouk would be tasked with creating fictitious qualifications.
