A close associate of alleged underworld figure Vusumuzi “Cat” Matlala has been arrested in Pretoria in connection with an alleged fraud case.
The suspect is accused of falsifying bank statements to help Matlala secure a lease agreement worth R95,000.
Matlala allegedly used an eSwatini identity document when applying for the lease.
The suspect was previously questioned by the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) in June, as part of its investigations.
Members of the task team also raided his residence in Pretoria East during the operation.
He was subsequently released.
The latest arrest is expected to form part of ongoing investigations into alleged criminal activities linked to Matlala and his associates.
