Edith Duna, a 46-year-old expenditure accountant accused of defrauding the Port St. Johns Local Municipality R250 000, has been freed on a warning.
Duna was detained on February 16 by the Hawks, released with a warning, and given a court date of March 2 for her appearance.
She reportedly processed 15 fictitious payments on the municipality systems which were subsequently paid to her personal bank account without services being rendered.
