Former SARS official jailed for fraud

01 Feb 2016 | Admin Author


 A former senior official of the SA Revenue Service has been jailed for 15 years by the Western Cape High Court.

Edmund Fredericks was sentenced on Thursday after being found guilty of racketeering, fraud and forgery involving R1.3 million.

In 2006, Fredericks and an accomplice, Aaron Carelse, submitted false VAT claims, using ghost companies.

Judge Daniel Dlodlo also sentenced Carelse, who was not a Sars employee, to 15 years imprisonment.
