Alleged serial fraudster denied bail
ALEXANDRA - The Alexandra Magistrates' Court denied bail to a habitual fraudster who committed a crime before she would finish her wholly suspended sentence for a similar offence she committed elsewhere.
The Alexandra Magistrates’ Court denied bail to a fraudster who allegedly committed a second similar crime before she had finished her wholly suspended sentence for the first offence.
Saloshni Governder, a former financial officer for a company, is said to have committed the second offence by allegedly defrauding her employer of R1.2 million which she transferred into her account and withdrew.
The court hearing found that she committed the crime while serving a six-year sentence, wholly suspended for five years, for a similar crime committed in 2004 in which she defrauded her employer of R1 million.
Her guilty plea and suspended sentence verdict for the first case was conditional upon her repaying the money. She had paid half of it and was still repaying the balance in instalments when she committed the second offence.
