The hawks arrested a 31-year old man from Mpumalanga after he tried to bribe a special Investigative Unit(SIU).
According to Hawks Spokesperson
Colonel Katlego Mogale” The man was arrested on Monday in a joint operation
between the Hawks and the SIU after he arranged to meet the SIU official. He
allegedly attempted to bribe the official with R50 000 to have a case against
his sister dropped”.
The Personal protective
equipment (PPE) case related to this is against an official from the Department
of Public Works based in Mpumalanga.
"The complainant had
reported that the individual contacted her and requested to meet. They met, and
the suspect requested the SIU official to make the case disappear. Upon
finalising the amount, the suspect went to collect the money. The suspect later
returned, and upon handing over the gratification, he was arrested,"
Mogale said.
R63 000 in cash was found
by the officers on the day of arrest in his possession, he is now expected to
appear in the Nelspruit Magistrate court on Tuesday.
