Deputy commissioner of the police”;s commercial crime investigations unit, Given Kaura, yesterday confirmed the case to The Namibian.
“The case is sensitive at the moment. But there is a major breakthrough from our investigation as we speak. It is a syndicate fraud. We are still investigating how they did it,” Kaura said.
He said two suspects have been arrested.
The questionable transactions were allegedly made on 8 June 2022.
It is alleged that the suspects have manipulated the company”;s banking system and transferred N$3,2 million to different private accounts.
It is not clear whose accounts the money was transferred to.
The manager, Deon Claasen, declined to speak on the matter yesterday.
He directed questions to the company”;s marketing manager, Gladwin Groenewaldt.
Groenewaldt said an internal investigation through an external forensic team has been instituted.
“NamPost is not privy to reveal customer information. However, we would like to assure our savings bank account holders that no customer funds or accounts have been compromised due to the incident,” Groenewaldt said.
He said NamPost”;s “internal systems are now controlled and managed should any irregularities occur” to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The company yesterday in a press statement said three officials linked to the case have been suspended.
