Commercial Crime Unit arrested two suspects on charges of fraud
WESTERN CAPE – Detectives at the Provincial Commercial Crime Unit investigated several cases of fraud and arrested two suspects aged 62 and 63 on
Tuesday, 24 August 2021, on the mentioned charges.During the course of July 2021, various retired S A Defence force members laid criminal complaints against a retired “Colonel” and his cohorts for fraudulently representing to the retired members that the Queen of England and the British Army made millions of dollars available, as a pension pay out to each such retired applicant.
It is alleged that at least 40 000 retired members responded to the “Colonel”, and as part of the application paid a R40 administration fee, with the hope to receive the pension pay out.
Based on the envisaged pension pay outs, the “Colonel” managed to further obtain loans, in excess of R2 million, with the promise to repay the loan when the funds are cleared in South Africa.
