FIVE suspects have been arrested and they and four companies charged with fraud, theft, and money laundering after a company was swindled out of R12 million.

The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (the Hawks), said a joint operation in the Eastern Cape and Western Cape led to the arrests.

Lieutenant Colonel Avele Fumba explained that the paper trail began more than 10 years ago when an employee began a private company rendering the same services as the one where he worked.
