Media Statement
GAUTENG - The Serious Corruption Investigation of the Hawks are on the heels of five suspects who are company directors at Consulmet after they failed to present themselves for arrest today, 08 December 2023. This is subsequent to a thorough investigation by the team on allegation of fraud and contravention of the companies Act. During September 2022, the complainant entered into a contract with one of the suspects who is a director of the Consulmet to build a coal wash plant amounting to R55 million. The complainant paid several instalments amounting to over R39 million but the suspects had not started nor keeping up with their end of the bargain.
That's when the complainant approached the Serious Corruption Investigation team in Gauteng. The team proceeded to engage the suspects through investigation and ultimately secured warrants of arrests. When the team arrived at Consulmet to execute the warrants, none of the suspects was on the premises. A manhunt for the five suspects is under way and once arrested, they will face charges of fraud and theft.
