Cop to be sentenced for stealing father’s lottery winnings
A Gauteng police officer is expected to be sentenced next week after he was found guilty of stealing millions from his father.
The 53-year-old is facing a lengthy prison sentence after he stole about R2 million of his father’s lottery winnings.
The National Prosecuting Authority’s Phindi Mjonondwane says the warrant officer was found guilty of fraud by the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court last week.
“The court has asked a probation officer to compile a report in order to arrive at a just sentence.”
He is expected to be sentenced next week.
