Two vehicle examiners were arrested last week Friday, 09 November 2018 in Butterworth by the Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation Unit arrested for alleged corruption.
The two suspects aged 25 and 40, are alleged to be part of a wider group that is responsible for the fraudulent certification of roadworthy permits in the Western Cape.
