JUST IN | Three former Absa employees have been sentenced to 15 years in jail each for defrauding the JSE as well as mining company Samancor of R191 million, the National Prosecuting Authority said. | News24_Business

In a statement, the NPA said the three former employees replaced banking details linked to the JSE with their own.

The syndicate made three large transfers of R2.9 million on 26 July 2019, R30 million on 12 August 2019, and R158 million on 23 September 2019. While the defence argued the trio had shown remorse and were first-time offenders, the NPA said the prosecution argued that a jail term was needed to deter would-be offenders.
