A 38-year-old man was re-arrested on Friday in Durban for fraud case dating back in 2011. He was released on bail in 2011 and never honoured his court dates.
A warrant arrest was issued against Christopher Joseph Marneweck.
Marneweck allegedly defrauded a reputable insurance company (Sanlam) over R182 000. He opened a liquid debit account with the company and further instructed them in writing to effect debit orders from various accounts holders.
The money was fraudulently withdrawn and it was not clear how he acquired people’s bank accounts. Marneweck’s account was credited with R953 500 and some of money was successfully recovered through reversal.
Northern Cape Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI / HAWKS) Lieutenant Philani Nkwalase said they traced and re-arrested him in Durban last week Friday.
“The suspect appeared at Galeshewe Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday. He will remain in custody,” Nkwalase said.
