A 60-year-old man in the Northern Cape has been arrested for fraud and is expected to re-appear before the Douglas Magistrate’s Court on 8 February 2021.
This, after his case was postponed today. The 60-year-old Corrie Solomons stands accused of representing himself as a member of the PNIEL Youth Development Co-operation in December 2018 and requested money from Griekwalad Wes Koperatief Beperk (GWK) without authorisation.
The Hawks spokesperson, Nomthandazo Mnisi, says the suspect requested money that was due to the Youth Development Co-operation, to be paid into PNIEL Communal Property Associations (PCPA)’s account.
She says once GWK deposited money to into PCPA’s account, the suspect then later transferred it into his personal account resulting in the business suffering a loss of approximately R1.1 million.
“The matter was reported to the Hawks Serious Corruption Investigation and thorough investigation was conducted resulting in an arrest of the suspect on Tuesday” she said.
The suspect has been released on a R20 000 bail and investigations continues.
