The Citizen reports that the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) and the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) busted an alleged multi-million Rand vehicle licensing fraud ring in Mpumalanga on Monday.
Investigation into the ring estimates that the province has lost close to R60 million in revenue due to their activities. The RTMC’s National Traffic Anti-Corruption Unit (NTACU) indicated in a statement on Monday that six officials had been arrested In Mbombela for vehicle licensing fraud. “Five provincial administrators and a municipal clerk in Mbombela are alleged to have fraudulently redetermined the classification of hundreds of vehicles to avoid paying licensing fees and penalties,” the RTMC advised. The suspects are alleged to have committed the crimes between 2018 and 2019 in collusion with many officials from registering authorities in Mpumalanga. They are facing a total of 603 counts of fraud, corruption and money laundering and were expected to make an appearance at the Mbombela specialised commercial court later on Monday.
