Spanish authorities are investigating corruption at Prasa, for R2.7 billion purchase of locomotives, while SA's Hawks and NPA fail to take action.
Spanish authorities are investigating corruption at the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa . Meanwhile South African law enforcement – the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation and the National Prosecuting Authority – have taken no action for five years.
A flow of funds analysis presented to the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture by Swifambo’s liquidators, showed that Mabunda and companies under his control received R63 million from Swifambo’s holding company, and a further R17 million from Swifambo itself. In 2015, Vossloh España, based in Valencia, was sold by its German parent company, Vossloh, to Swiss rail company Stadler Rail AG.
Judgments – in the High Court in 2017 and in the Supreme Court of Appeal in 2018 – found that Swifambo was a front for Vossloh España, and that the deal was riddled with corruption, with people working from inside Prasa to fix the deal for Vossloh/Swifambo.
