As a specialist in fraud prevention and monitoring at banks I am actually very interested in this story especially due to the fact that the head of SARS (Pravin's replacement) and another knew about the letter for investigation from the banks of suspicious funds since May 2016.

Really top level person at SARS doing this using own and girlfriend accounts for suspicious transfers.

One mistake (should say 152% and not 15%) on the increase over years, although the extract from the bank letter is correct.
