    After living the high life for 13 years, thanks to an “ingenious scheme” that netted her R460 million, the Boksburg dream is over.

    A 43-year-old woman has now been arrested after a raid by the Hawks last week, where they seized millions of rands worth of jewellery, luxury cars and motorcycles.

    According to Hawks spokesman Captain Ndivhuwo Mulamu, the woman was employed as an accountant with multinational medical equipment supplier Medtronic, who are based in Midrand.

    She was crafty, with this below via Times LIVE:

    Mulamu said the woman allegedly duplicated payments to legitimate clients and service providers, paying money directly into her deceased husband’s bank account…

    After the woman resigned, the company’s new accountant picked up on a name for a client in the internal accounting system that the new person did not recognise, the SABC reported.

    After a brief investigation it was found that the woman’s surname was the same as that of the account holder, her late husband.

    The information was handed to the Hawks in October 2017.

    She wasn’t exactly shy to splash the cash either, because evidence of her excess was there for all to see:

    “The Hawks attached the suspect’s 11 luxurious vehicles, including three Range Rovers, a Porsche and motorbikes; seven immovable properties with furniture and appliances, and jewellery worth over R12-million, which was emptied from five safes in the house,” Mulamu said…

    “In the one garage we found dozens of expensive luggage, all empty. They travelled the world,” a police officer close to the investigation said.

    “It looks like they would wake up one morning and just decide to go to Mauritius and take their toothbrush and face-cloth only. Then they would come back with this grand luggage filled with expensive stuff.”

    Must be nice, hey?

    Genuine question – you have all that money, why the hell are you still living in Boksburg?

    Fun game – Google ‘Boksburg’, click the ‘Images‘ tab, feel sorry for the people who live there.
