21 February 2025- The Palm Ridge Specialised Commercial Crimes Court postponed the corruption case against Mohammed and Raeesa Mooidheen to 27 February 2025, for legal representation. Their legal representative withdrew and the court granted a postponement for them to source legal representation.
The Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) spokesperson, Henry Mamothame said the state placed it on record that it has been ready to proceed with trial since 2023, and the delays by the two accused prejudice the other two accused who are also ready to proceed with trial.
“The two are charged together with Vernon and Aradhna Pillay, wherein they are facing charges of corruption, fraud and money laundering.
“The married couples stand accused of cashing in on gratifications estimated at R8.6 million, that includes cash and luxury cars, by inflating prices for Impulse, a subcontractor to ABB,” he said.
Mamothame said Mohammed and Vernon were employees of ABB at the time the offences were committed and they allegedly inflated prices in exchange for money and cars.
