NHRDC employee charged with forgery |31 July 2013

A former accountant with the National Human Resources Development Council (NHRDC) is facing charges of forgery and contraventions of the penal code.
The police said this in a communiqué it sent to the media yesterday.

The communiqué adds that the suspect, a 31-year-old lady of Quincy Village, Mahé, was arrested by the police on July 24, 2013 and appeared in court on July 25, 2013.
The lady suspect has been released on a R10,000 cash bail and will reappear before court on August 8.

The charges against this former accountant are related to irregular and unlawful payments of over R900,000 made to a fictitious scholar’s bank account over a period of three months. The money has subsequently been withdrawn from the bank account.

The communiqué adds that it’s not the first time the lady is suspected of such crime as she is currently on trial in the Supreme Court on similar charges.
