National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson, Mojalefa Senokoatsane, says that Frederic was charged with submitting fraudulent travel claims during his time as a police officer. Frederic submitted travel claims of more than R3000 for a work-related trip that he never attended.

This was in 2019 when he was supposed to attend the workshop in Pretoria. The workshop was, however, postponed before he could undertake the trip.

Senokoatsane explains Frederic made numerous court appearances, and was eventually sentenced after pleading guilty to the charges against him.

He was sentenced to a fine of R10 000 - or 12-months imprisonment - which was suspended for five years, on the condition that he is not found guilty of similar offences during the time of suspension.

He was further instructed to reimburse the R3000 to the SAPS.
