A 69-year-old Port Elizabeth father and his 43-year-old son are facing several fraud charges after allegedly submitting numerous fictitious invoices resulting in a loss of R1.2 million to the South African Revenue Service.
Hawks spokesperson, Lwando Zenzile, said Rashaad Musa and his son Goolam, who own a local fruit and vegetable store in the city, were summoned to appear at the Commercial Crimes Court on Monday.
This, after the Musa's claimed to have had several business transactions with two other local companies over a period between August 2012 and July 2016.
Zenzile said a diligent probe by SARS however later revealed that the 12 invoices submitted by the Musa’s were forged, and not issued by the two said suppliers.
Their case has been postponed to the 14th of September, where they are expected to plead.
