Judge, church leader arrested for corruption

PRETORIA - A judge and church leader have been arrested with two others for corruption and money-laundering. 

The Hawks took down the group in an operation on Tuesday night.

It's related to a succession dispute at a high-profile church being heard at the High Court in Pretoria. 

The judge allegedly accepted a bribe to come to a favourable decision for one of the factions. 

Investigations revealed a money trail amounting to millions of rand allegedly exchanged among the accused. 

The group is expected to appear before the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Pretoria.
