Luxury car fraud trial postponed

THE Cape Town Magistrate’s Court has postponed to March the case against a 36-year-old suspect who faces charges of fraud, forgery and uttering.

Hawks spokesperson Philani Nkwalase said Marc Misdorp was arrested on Monday. He was allegedly involved in the fraudulent purchases of a Mercedes-Benz and BMW worth almost R2 million.

Nkwalase said Misdorp allegedly created fraudulent documents that helped Abdul Karriem Janodien obtain vehicle finance.

“These vehicles were later recovered from Janodien (54), who was released on R10000 bail after his court appearance on October 22, 2018.” Further investigation led to the arrests of Edwards Abdusad, 45, and Enrico Cedric Chambers, 38. All suspects are expected back in court on March 12. |
