A 41 year old suspect will most likely be spending Christmas behind bars following the call to Gauteng Police by Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Deliwe de Lange, to ensure that criminals do not get to enjoy their Festive Season, but are rather brought to book.

In an intelligence driven operation on Saturday 8 December 2017, members of the Gauteng Provincial Investigating Unit thwarted what could be a money laundering scheme following the disappearance in November of R5 million from the books of one NGO in the West Rand.

The suspect was to collect a sum of money from a Pretoria company suspected of being used as a channel to launder the money, in the alleged corrupt activity.

Police are satisfied that there is sufficient evidence which could see more suspects arrested.

The suspect will appear in Pretoria court soon.
