 Malema - Hawks sifting through electronic data Sapa, News24,
Johannesburg, 20 August 2011 Johannesburg - The
Hawks confirmed that they were
investigating ANC Youth League president Julius Malema for
fraud and
corruption, eNews reported on Saturday evening. "From the information
that we have found, we have
enough to tell us that we need to do a full investigation...
there's a lot that
tells us that we have reason to worry," Hawks spokesperson
McIntosh Polela
said. The Hawks would
examine the flow of money through companies
linked to Malema, including the Ratanang family trust. Polela said the Hawks
would need time to work through large
amounts of electronic data linked to Malema's financial
dealings, and therefore
could not say when the investigation would be completed. ENews also reported
that the South African Revenue Service
initiated its own investigation into Malema's financial
affairs and alleged
failure to pay tax. This comes in the
same week that the ANC charged the ANCYL
leader with misconduct and an announcement that Public
Protector Thuli
Mandonsela will investigate the awarding of tenders by the
Limpopo government
to On-Point Engineering, a company linked to Malema. "She will investigate
the conduct within the state
entities that led to the awarding of the tenders," said
Kgalelelo Masibi,
a senior manager in the protector's office. - SAPA From: http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Malema-Hawks-sifting-through-electronic-data-20110820 You are subscribed. This footer can help you.
