The money pleaded guilty to a charge of money laundering.
A 45-year-old woman has been convicted on a money laundering charge in the Oudtshoorn Magistrate’s Court.
Cathleen Hendricks, 45, pleaded guilty to the charge of money laundering.
According to the Western Cape spokesperson for the Hawks, Warrant Officer Zinzi Hani, this matter stems from a larger investigation into drug trafficking and money laundering activities that emanated from a drug seizure from a taxi that arrived in Oudtshoorn in April 2018.
“It was reported that on April 6, 2018, an intelligence-led operation consisting of members of the Serious Organised Crime Investigation team based in George and K9 Oudtshoorn acted on information received about drug activities. The information received was about an individual who was dealing in drugs, who sent an amount of R60,000 via a taxi driver to Gqeberha to buy drugs,” Hani said.
