FNB employee to appear in court for allegedly stealing R36.9 million from a deceased client’s account

Hawks in Limpopo have arrested an FNB consultant who allegedly siphoned R36.9 million from the account of his dead client into his own.

The consultant is expected to appear on Monday in The Makhodo magistrate’s court on Monday on charges of fraud.

According to a report by TIMESLIVE It is alleged that on April 25, the suspect who was an FNB consultant at Makhado branch opened the profile of the client who had just died in a vehicle accident a day before without any authorisation.

According to Hawks spokesperson Capt Matimba Maluleke, the suspect connived with his accomplice to open a new bank account and linked it to the deceased’s account and started spending all the money from the deceased’ account.

Maluleke said the bank picked up on the fraudulent activity, opened a case of theft and closed the account.

“When the suspect was approached by the bank managers about the matter, he reportedly tendered his resignation letter with immediate effect. During the investigation, it was discovered that some of the stolen money was used to buy expensive cars and donate to a certain church,” said Maluleke.
