PRETORIA - The Madlanga Commission has uncovered a network of transactions amounting to millions of rand.
They're between businessman Suleiman Carrim, alleged criminal kingpin Vusimusi Matlala and alleged Tembisa Hospital looting lord Hangwani Maumela.
Chief evidence leader Mathew Chaskalson says the evidence may call for money laundering charges.
Carrim who testified before the commission on Monday denied receiving kickbacks from an irregular SAPS tender scored by suspected crime boss Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala.
Instead, he said he paid R10-million as an investment into Matlala’s company Medicare24.

Carrim told the Commission that Matlala delayed paying him back and later paid only R1.75-million in return to his company Tameez.
Carrim further testified that Matlala used him and asked that he advance R750-thousand to alleged Tembisa Hospital looting kingpin Hangwani Maumela.
He said he paid R500 000 to Maumela, who instructed him to make the payment to Luthaga Trading Enterprise.

Based on evidence and the distribution of criminal proceeds, the commission says it may recommend money laundering charges.
But Carrim believes he was used and manipulated by associates including Brown Mogotsi, whom he thought was a close friend.
Carrim is back at the commission on Tuesday.
