Three Eskom employees were arrested by the
Hawks Crime Intelligence and the Eskom crime team during a sting operation over
the weekend.
Hawks Spokesperson Paul Ramaloko said the
three were arrested for fraud, corruption and possible contravening
contravention of the Electronic Communication and Transaction Act of 2002, to
the tune of 3.5 billion-Rand.
Ramaloko added that the suspects appeared
briefly in the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Monday on
those charges, only one suspect was granted R2000 bail.
He emphasised that the case against two
suspects was postponed to the 1st of December for formal bail
application.
“We believe that the three, are part of a
bigger syndicate was trying to defraud Eskom. Our investigation is continuing
and we are not sure if more arrests should be made or not.” Ramoloko added.
