Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation has captured five suspects for affirmed R5.7m UIF extortion.
On Saturday, June 4, Hawks agents plummeted on a few properties in Pretoria to gather together five presumes connected to a R5.7m UIF misrepresentation and illegal tax avoidance trick.
The examination, enrolled at Brooklyn police headquarters, brought about the capture of two ladies and three men matured somewhere in the range of 25 and 68 for anomalies connected to the UIF Covid-19 help finance.
As indicated by Colonel Katlego Mogale, the suspects were followed to different habitations in Soshanguve, Atteridgeville and Mamelodi in Gauteng.
“Five vehicles including an Evoque were recuperated from the scenes just as different things suspected to have been purchased with the monies which weren’t intended for the suspects,” Mogale said.
The presumes will show up on Monday 6 July 2020 in the Pretoria Commercial Crimes Court on charges of extortion, burglary and illegal tax avoidance.
