Hawks Gauteng spokesperson Captain Ndivhuwo Mulamu said in August 2020 Anthony allegedly intercepted the Stanlib insurance company’s system and created a fraudulent email under the Outsurance letterhead applying for a withdrawal of R20 million on a policy payout.
The investigation team effected an arrest on Tuesday at the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court when Anthony was attending to unrelated fraud charges against him.
“Police subsequently charged Anthony with fraud and he appeared in court yesterday where he was remanded in custody pending investigation. He is positively linked to other fraud-related allegations in Gauteng and the Eastern Cape,” said Mulamu.Earlier this month, a 54-year-old man appeared in the Palm Ridge Specialised Commercial Crimes Court charged with fraud of about R2.2 million.
“It is alleged that Christiaan Frederick van Wyk created fraudulent payment transactions between 2012 and 2018 when he was working at a Melrose-based company, PEG Holdings, as a secretary and financial manager,” Mulamu said at the time. She said further investigation by the Hawks’ serious commercial crime investigation team in Johannesburg revealed that Van Wyk had transferred about R2.2 million on different transactions into his bank accounts for the period.
A warrant of arrest was issued and Van Wyk handed himself in at the Johannesburg Hawks’ office, where he was formally charged with fraud.
