A spokesperson says both auditors acknowledged they had issued a notice to a well-known KwaZulu-Natal businessman.
Two former South African Revenue Service customs auditors were sentenced to three years direct imprisonment for corruption in Durban last week, May 9 2019.
Mamela said both auditors acknowledged that they had issued a notice to a well-known KwaZulu-Natal businessman in February 2018, advising him of an imminent audit of companies where he was a director. “Later the same day, Maharaj contacted the businessman, asking for an advance payment of R10,000, which was duly paid. Maharaj did not inform Moodley of this arrangement, nor shared the money with him,” said Mamela.“A decision was taken to set up a police trap in terms of section 252A of the Criminal Procedures Act. The businessman provided the cash, which was divided into two envelopes, each containing R100,000,” recounted Mamela.
