The accused allegedly deducted tax and Unemployment Insurance Fund contributions from his employees' salaries but did not remit the money to their SA Revenue Service and the department of labour.
Smith, 50, his wife Cornelia and his employee Shafieka Salie were arrested on Monday. They are accused of running an"enterprise" in his legal practice, Craig Smith and Associates , and his immigration consultancy between October 2011 and July 2014.
Smith faces up to 1,125 counts of alleged criminality ranging from racketeering, incitement, fraud, forgery, uttering and money laundering. "But there were many other instances where the clients themselves were wholly unaware of the fact that their permit applications has been compiled using and/or had been supplemented with forged documents and false information and that they, too, had been defrauded in various manners in the process," the charge sheet reads
