A 37-year-old Gqeberha doctor has found himself on the wrong side of the law after he was arrested on allegations of Road Accident Fund (RAF) fraud.
Ruan Lundt, a prosthetist (a health care provider who makes artificial limbs for people with disabilities) appeared in the Gqeberha New Law Magistrates Court and charged with seven counts of fraud.
He was arrested by the Directorate for Priority Crimes Investigation (known as the Hawks) this week.
Explaining the merits of the case, Eastern Cape Hawks spokesperson Captain Yolisa Mgolodela said it is alleged in 2022, Lundt submitted quotes with seven claims to RAF in both his company name and that of Moolman Orthopaedics company name, without Moolman's knowledge.
It is further alleged that the quotes were orchestrated such that Lundt's company quote was selected over those in Moolman's name.
