The Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Gauteng yesterday sentenced a 34-year-old man to 12 years imprisonment for fraud.
Vusi Dlamini was the sole Director of Riverly Engineering
and was responsible for the company’s tax affairs.
Between 2014 and 2017, Dlamini submitted fraudulent Value
Added Tax (VAT) returns to the South African Revenue Service (SARS), claiming
undue VAT refunds.
These fraudulent activities reportedly cost SARS over
six-million rand.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Phindi
Mjonondwane, says Dlamini eventually handed himself over to the Hawks in May
last year.
“ We together with our partners, we continue to ensure that
perpetrators of white-collar crime face the full might of the law for gross
dishonesty and remain resolute in protecting the countries’ fiscals against the
white collar-crimes”, she added.
