JOHANNESBURG – The Hawks expect to make more arrests after KPMG employee Fidelis Moema was arrested for allegedly stealing millions from the company. They revealed that the investigation into the alleged theft is at an advanced stage.
KPMG employee arrested
According to TimesLIVE, Moema was arrested on 2 April and charged with theft, money laundering and fraud. He recently appeared before the Palm Ridge Commercial Court, accused of stealing R16.5 million from KPMG. The money he allegedly stole was meant for bursary recipients. He was appointed to oversee bursary payments. However, he reportedly redirected the funds into friends' and associates' bank accounts instead of doing what he was paid for. The money would then be paid into his account.
