Cape Town – Two policemen and the mother of one of them appeared in court yesterday in connection with an amount of German money stolen from fraud accused Jurgen Harksen in October 1995.
Jan Matthys Myburgh, 40, and Louis Francois de Jager, 37, appeared in court with Mr Myburgh’s mother, Martha Myburgh, 67, on charges of theft.
The money was found in a locker at a gym in Green Point. It was handed to Mr Myburgh and Mr De Jager, who had been assigned to investigate the find.
They allegedly converted the money into South African currency and shared it. Mr Myburgh allegedly gave R75 000 to his mother, who used it to buy a vehicle. She allegedly knew the money was stolen. The hearing will resume tomorrow. – Sapa
