Captain Paul Ramaloko said the Electronic Crime Unit of the Hawks and the agency arrested a 30-year-old man at his home in Ga-Rankuwa, north of Pretoria, on 12 November.
Ramaloko added, “His employment contract with the agency was suspended two weeks ago after the agency’s internal investigation revealed his suspected involvement in what would have been a loss of millions by the Gautrain Management Agency.”
The suspect was alleged to have been a disgruntled former employee of Gautrain. Gauteng transport MEC Ismail Vadi said, “A possible threat to the agency computer systems was detected during a routine audit and the Hawks were duly notified… The agency systems, as a result of the early detection, were not compromised,” he said in a statement on Wednesday.
Ramaloko said the suspect allegedly duplicated bank accounts and other financial details that would have given him access to the money. “More arrests are still on the cards,” said Ramaloko.
The suspect will appear at the Johannesburg specialised commercial court on 13 November.
