The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) issued a statement on Tuesday indicating that its Serious Corruption Investigation Unit had on Monday subpoenaed a 27-year-old former Hawks’ administrator for fraud.
It alleged that in September 2018 the suspect, who was employed as an Administrative Clerk attached to the Serious Corruption Unit, tendered a fraudulent medical certificate to the Human Resources section to account for absenteeism after she had been on sick leave. The HR personnel officer who was capturing the sick leave identified some discrepancies on the medical certificate and informed her immediate commander, who initiated internal disciplinary action. The administrator handed in a resignation letter on 22 October 2018, after she was informed of the departmental disciplinary procedure. She is now scheduled to face a fraud charge at the Kimberley Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, 7 August 2019.
