14 Chinese nationals were arrested when police uncovered the centre of an operation of an illegal lottery in Bramley, Johannesburg.

National lotteries commission Communications officer Makosazana Lindhorst reported that the police confiscated a number of items including materials used in the playing of Fahfee which is one of the biggest illegal lotteries in the country.

“11 armoured cars, money, purses and checklists were all confiscated, the money still needs to be counted, and hopefully we will know the amount by this afternoon.” Lindhorst said



The suspects will appear in the Alexandra Magistrates Court on Monday the 30th on contravening Section 57 of the lotteries Act No. 57 of 1997.
