Economic Freedom Fighters’ Member of the Provincial Legislature (MPL) in North West, Betty Diale (52) is set to appear at the Rustenburg Regional Court for fraud on Monday. It is alleged that Diale defrauded her clients the Road Accident Fund (RAF) money to the tune of R700 000 between 2009 and 2021, while she was still practicing as an attorney.
North West police spokesperson, Brig Sabata Mokgwabone said: “According to information available at this stage, reports suggest that Fidelity Funds received several complaints from the Road Accident Fund (RAF) claimants, whose payments were deposited into Diale’s trust account.
“It is alleged that the said money did not reach the claimants. The matter was reported to the police for investigation and the accused, who was practicing as an attorney during the alleged commission of the crimes between 2009 and 2011 was subsequently charged with fraud in June 2021.”
