The Hawks alleged that during his tenure, De Jager connived with an employee at an auto body repair workshop.Hawks' spokesperson Yolisa Mgolodela said that the case will resume later in March after De Jager was released on a warning following his first court appearance.
"The allegations are that De Jager was being paid on monthly basis for orchestrating payments based on fraudulent invoices, a whistle was blown then the matter was reported to Hawks for extensive investigation.""When big companies like VW SA become prejudiced due to such criminal tendencies, the country's economy, social strata is adversely affected."
