A pensioner, who receives state old-age grants, was allegedly used to front three companies owned by the same family to swindle the South African Police Services (SAPS) out of R10-million.
That, however, is just the initial leg of the National Prosecution Authority’s (NPA) investigation into fraudulent tenders and the “capture” of corrupt employees at the South African Police Service (SAPS), and the family under investigation could finally be implicated in amounts as high as a staggering R1-billion.
