A Free State woman and man, who were operating a vehicle dealership, have each been sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment for inflating car prices.

Elizabeth Christina Knouwds, 40, and Willem Johannes van Tonder, 35, were sentenced by the Bloemfontein magistrate’s court on Thursday to 10 years each for fraud, corruption, money laundering and involvement in criminal gang activities.“The convicted persons operated a second-hand vehicle dealership, namely Lulu’s Auto CC, in Jacobsdal between May 2008 to October 2009.

The pair would, after the money had been paid out by the bank, pocket the difference from the inflated value. “The Hawks Serious Commercial Crime Investigation arrested the pair along with fellow syndicate members Theresa Madeleine Elaine Meyer, 49, and Charl Nico Fredericks, 40, who were served with subpoenas to appear in court also on fraud charges in contravention of the Prevention Organised Crime Act . Meyer has since passed on and charges against Fredericks were later dropped,” said Steyn.

Heartless People! Why are white criminals not named in the headline. You such a racist newspaper which continues to paint crime black This is misleading journalism. They were not sentenced for inflating prices to people who bought the cars. They were sentenced for fraud because they inflated the prices they claimed from the banks
