NPA freezes R3.4 million in assets linked to alleged R9 million Kathu school theft
A Northern Cape finance clerk accused of stealing about R9 million from a high school is facing further scrutiny after the NPA secured preservation and restraint orders over assets worth R3.4 million.
The National Prosecuting Authority's (NPA) Asset Forfeiture Unit has secured preservation and restraint orders over assets valued at approximately R3.4 million, which are believed to have been acquired through the proceeds of a R9 million theft from Kathu High School in Northern Cape. The assets include a residential property, four motor vehicles, and three caravans.
The preservation and restraint orders were obtained by the AFU in Kimberley in collaboration with the Priority Crime Specialised Inspectorate (PCSI) of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks). The High Court granted a restraint order on a residential property in Kathu valued at around R1.8 million, belonging to Jessica Kuhn, a former finance clerk at Kathu High School who is facing charges of fraud and money laundering.
