AMFS, according to evidence before the commission, converted R9m in government and SA Express funds into cash and delivered it to entities allegedly linked to former SA Express commercial GM Brian van Wyk. The commission believes that R97m of that amount was siphoned off to various entities through a “detailed scheme of money laundering”, which involved, among others, a company called Koroneka Trading and Investments, which was irregularly appointed to manage ground-handling services at both airports.
Describing a typical day at work, Viljoen said she would receive about 100 calls from clients who would request various amounts of cash. Viljoen would then wait for the client to deposit the money into AMFS’s account. She would then place an order for cash with another company, SBV. Her drivers would go to SBV to pick up the cash before dropping it off with the client.But her clients were not properly vetted.
