Dawes is a forensic investigator with Deloitte and was part of a multidisciplinary team that was roped in by Medtronic to do a forensic investigation on Steenkamp.<\/p>\n<p>Steenkamp pleaded guilty in the Johannesburg Commercial Crimes Court sitting in Palm Ridge in April this year.<\/p>\n<p>Steenkamp pleaded to 336 charges related to the theft of R537 million from Medtronic (Pty) Ltd, where she was employed as an accountant.<\/p>\n<p>Dawes told the court that Medtronic permanently employed Steenkamp in June 2004 as a junior accountant and by December 2004 she had already started stealing money from her employer.<\/p>\n<p>Dawes testified that Steenkamp stole R537 million through 336 transactions between 2004 and December 2016.<\/p>\n<p>She resigned from her job in January 2017.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The accused had to process all value-added tax [VAT] for the company by reclaiming it from SARS [the SA Revenue Service] and a customs clearing agent the company was using.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She set herself up as a beneficiary on the bank account of Medtronic. She also had her deceased husband as a beneficiary, and that&#8217;s where the money went,&#8221; Dawes told the court.<\/p>\n<p><b>ALSO READ | 3 sisters, 2 of them lawyers, are at war over their 90-year-old mother&#8217;s money \u2013 or lack thereof<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Although the Asset Forfeiture Unit seized Steenkamp&#8217;s assets, Dawes said no money was recovered. He said the assets that were eventually seized have a value of just below R30 million.<\/p>\n<p>Dawes said, during their investigations, they interviewed witnesses who included Steenkamp&#8217;s colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>He said:<\/p>\n<p>He said they analysed the bank statements of Steenkamp&#8217;s late husband, Mathys, and found that the biggest chunk of the money went into his bank account, which was used to fund unprofitable business ventures.<\/p>\n<p>Dawes said Mathys died in December 2014 after choking while on holiday at Sun City Resort in North West.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dawes, the last money Steenkamp stole was in two transactions of R6 million each in December 2016.<\/p>\n<p>He told the court that although Medtronic suffered a loss of close to R770 million through Steenkamp&#8217;s theft, the company could absorb the loss as it is an international entity with significant financial resources.<\/p>\n<p>Medtronic sells imported medical devices.<\/p>\n<p>Dawes said Steenkamp stole money from her employer and defrauded SARS to the tune of R311 million, which the company had to repay to the revenue service.<\/p>\n<p>He also said the company spent about R30 million on the investigation, which was conducted across multiple countries.<\/p>\n<p>Medtronic is also in litigation with SARS over the VAT Steenkamp fraudulently claimed and, to date, has spent R6.3 million on the litigation, Dawes said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
