Joburg man in dock for R1m tax fraud
Two suspects have appeared in the Palm Ridge Specialised Commercial Crime Court on two separate charges of tax fraud.
Hawks spokesperson Lloyd Ramovha says Anwar Gaffor was arrested for fraud.
“It is alleged that Gaffor submitted various fraudulent tax returns to the South African Revenue Service, which resulted in the receiver of revenue potentially losing R1 million in 2020. The timeous intervention by the internal auditors ensured that the actual loss amounted to R300 000.”
The suspect has been granted a R1000 bail and the case postponed to 13 October
In a separate case a suspect, who was a senior accountant, also appeared in the same court facing charges of fraud and theft allegedly committed in 2015.
“Adelle Fritz stands accused of fraudulently approving credit facilities for a company called Siyakhula Electrical for an amount of R500 000. Following an intensive investigation Fritz was arrested today on a warrant of arrest,” says Ramovha.
The case has been postponed to 29 September for additional implicated suspects to be accounted for.
