News24 reports that the court has granted a 44-year-old woman R10,000 bail after she allegedly defrauded her employer of over R6 million between 2015 and 2019.
On Wednesday, Giselle Maritz appeared in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court on charges of fraud and money laundering. This came after Phatshoane Henney Inc Attorneys became aware of fraudulent activities at the end of February 2020. "A preliminary probe by Phatshoane Henney Inc. Attorneys discovered that Maritz was unlawfully transferring trust funds to her own personal bank account and to her mother's bank account. These fraudulent transactions were carried out over the period between 2015 and 2019," police spokesperson Captain Christopher Singo indicated. As a result, the law firm was prejudiced and suffered a total loss of more than R6 million. Maritz was granted R10,000 bail.
