The Special Investigating Unit says it will not relent in its bid to recover millions of rand from a lawyer who allegedly defrauded the state. SIU
Advocate Hassan Ebrahim Kajee, a lawyer for the Office of the State Attorney, was arrested on Saturday on various charges of fraud.The SIU says Kajee allegedly inflated invoices for services that were not rendered and overcharged for services that were not rendered.“People who are supposed to understand the law are the ones that are defrauding government.
Therefore, that creates a serious problem. With the evidence that we have, we’ve got to give it to the police, through the National Prosecuting Authority , for them to open a criminal case. On our own, we have to recover that money from him and make sure that the process is done through the Special Tribunal. Once it is done, it becomes debt and we’ll have to find a way of recovering that debt,” says Kganyago.
