The Gqeberha specialised commercial crimes court sentenced a bookkeeper for Road Accident Fund (RAF) fraud amounting to R500,000 on Friday.

“The employer was a registered attorney and held a trust account which was solely intended to be used for the safekeeping of deposited monies which was received by him on behalf of his clients. Various deposits were made into the trust account,” said Hawks spokesperson Capt Yolisa Mgolodela.

“These deposits were related to RAF claims, property sales and debt collections. The monies were never distributed to the rightful beneficiaries but rather into Dewald Viljoen Attorneys' business account and Boerdery bank account. Bernice as the bookkeeper of the practice was aware of the unlawful misappropriations.”

Mgolodela said investigations showed that the victims were cheated out of R500,000. Dewald Viljoen is still on trial.
